The year 2006 was a landmark year in Canadian IP law due to the breadth and scope of the decisions and legislative changes affecting rights holders in the field of patent, trade-mark and copyright law. As these developments will have an impact in 2007 and beyond, Fasken Martineau's Intellectual Property Group is pleased to present a synopsis of how these developments may inform your business decisions and help you to avoid costly mistakes. Please feel free to contact members of the group if you have questions or comments, using the contact information provided in the document.
