    This treatise on Canadian intellectual property law, written by members of the IP practice group of Stikeman, Elliott, is a comprehensive source for answering many of the IP questions that arise for both lawyers and corporate counsel.
     
    With technologies and new ideas driving today’s economy as never before, intellectual property is a key factor in business success. While intellectual property is especially vital for knowledge-based industries, its importance cuts across sectors as well as national boundaries. To meet this challenge, Stikeman, Elliott takes a multi-disciplinary approach to the practice. Their team comprises dynamic and highly creative professionals, including intellectual property, corporate and international trade lawyers, who bring a wide range of training and experience to every transaction. This expertise has been critical to businesses throughout Canada and around the world who want to preserve, protect and exploit their intellectual property to the fullest while reducing the risks of jeopardizing their intellectual property assets.

    In addition to this work being an eminently practical reference source, it also provides insightful practice commentaries and detailed analysis of all major intellectual property law subjects. In sum, the Intellectual Property Law of Canada is a publication that anyone with Canadian IP interests or questions should not be without
