Montréal partner, patent agent and leader of Fasken’s Global Intellectual Property group, David Turgeon, discusses key considerations for businesses surrounding intellectual property ownership in the context of defence procurement in an article published in Canadian Lawyer.
Against the backdrop of significant federal investments in the defence and dual-use sectors, David Turgeon comments on the uncertainty surrounding the government’s rights to intellectual property resulting from research it has helped fund. He also analyzes the complexities associated with inventions developed using AI or autonomous tools, and the evolving international landscape as Canada seeks to deepen its defence ties with European countries.
