Register

Speakers

  • John Cheek, President, IPO

  • Jessica Landacre, Executive Director, IPO

Join Torys’ intellectual property lawyers for an informal discussion on all aspects of patent law. We’ll be analyzing the old, the new—and most definitely the absurd—in candid conversation, all while taking questions from the audience and welcoming special guests along the way.

Episode 20: IP, the IPO, and Canada, eh?

The Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) will be hosting its Annual Meeting in Toronto on September 27 to 29, 2026, attracting leaders from around the world to explore emerging strategies, track shifting trends, and master best practices in a rapidly evolving global landscape. Why Toronto? This is an excellent question—and one which we will put to IPO’s President, John Cheek, and IPO’s Executive Director, Jessica Landacre, who have graciously accepted our invitation to come on our show to share the buzz of excitement around the IPO’s AM.

In addition, we will discuss the importance of IP—both generally, and particularly as it impacts the relationship between Canada and the United States. Please join us as we interrupt our regular programming for these two special guests!

This session will be presented in English.

Time: 9:00 – 10:00 a.m. ET Presentation | 8:45 a.m. ET Webinar opens
