In June 2016, amendments to the Trademarks Act and Patent Act established a statutory privilege for certain communications between trademark agents/patent agents and their clients. Join us to explore the implications of these amendments, including:

• What is the scope of the statutory privilege, and how does it relate to solicitor-client privilege?
• Why are these amendments important?
• Making sense of treatment of communications between agents and clients in other jurisdictions, and unraveling the cross-border complications
• Critical practice management advice: how to keep your communications privileged
