  • About this program:
  • The retail landscape is changing rapidly, making the sector even more challenging. The courts have recently ruled on a number of intellectual property disputes, whose outcomes are significant for consumer facing business at home and abroad. These cases and developments in strategies for dealing with timely issues have practical significance for consumer facing business operations, and illustrate how fine the margins can be between acceptable and unacceptable practices.

    Our panel of experts will cover methods to enforce indemnities from suppliers in Federal Court intellectual property proceedings, and review how the Equustek Solutions Inc. v Google Inc. will create new opportunities for online enforcement of trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights against counterfeiters and other intellectual property infringements.

    Join our speakers Barry Sookman, Senior Partner, McCarthy Tétrault and Steven Tanner, Partner, McCarthy Tétrault for a practical discussion of current intellectual property issues impacting retailers in today’s marketplace.
