Staying Off Santa’s Naughty List – How To Collaborate and Protect Your IP

Life Sciences Nova Scotia in partnership with SpringBoard Atlantic is pleased to invite you to join us for an IP holiday warm-up with Ring Rescue and Bereskin & Parr IP Law. 

Noel Courage is a partner in Bereskin & Parr LLP, one of Canada’s leading intellectually property law firms.  Noel will give a presentation about best practices, and maybe a few worst ones, for protecting IP in your R&D and business collaborations.  We will open the floor for a Q&A discussion about key collaboration issues that come up in the start-up world and on campus.  Then hear from one of our members, Ring Rescue.  They will discuss their IP and business journey from an engineering project to trade shows and into the Dragon’s Den.
