The province of Ontario has created mandates to increase Intellectual Property literacy and education within post-secondary institutions. We invite researchers and entrepreneurs interested in commercialization to a two- part IP webinar series to learn more about why it is important to have an intellectual property (IP) strategy.

On Thursday, January 25, 2024, the first webinar IP Webinar titled, HOW TO DEVELOP AND FUND YOUR IP, was hosted and has been recorded.  If you are interested in this recording, feel free to touch base with our office or email kafettes@lakeheadu.ca.

Below is the information regarding the webinars titled: IP ISSUES IN LIFE SCIENCES AND HIGH TECH.

These two sessions will take place during Lakehead University's R&I WEEK.
