Intellectual Property: The Year 2007 in Review

The Intellectual Property Group at Fasken Martineau introduces our annual synopsis of the year's significant IP-related decisions and noteworthy developments in IP law. Many of these recent developments reflect the ever-changing international aspects of commerce as well as the influence of technology, electronic media and the internet on IP acquisition, maintenance, protection and enforcement. This review is a quick and easy reference for our clients, helping them keep abreast of many of the IP issues that affect them.

Every company has intellectual property, whether it's a patent, a trade-mark, a secret formula, know-how, confidential information, a process for doing business, innovative software or business documents and graphics requiring protection. The lawyers, patent and trade-mark agents in our Intellectual Property Group can provide you with advice on all your complex IP issues.
