The Government of Canada is committed to making sure Canadian businesses, creators, entrepreneurs and innovators understand, protect and leverage their intellectual property (IP) and that they receive professional advice from qualified patent or trademark agents licensed by the College of Patent Agents and Trademark Agents.
Today, the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, announced the appointment of Iris Almeida-Côté and Amber Batool to the College of Patent Agents and Trademark Agents board of directors.
The College of Patent Agents and Trademark Agents was established in 2021, under the Government of Canada's Intellectual Property Strategy, to regulate the patent and trademark agent profession and ensure Canadians benefit from access to high-quality IP advice and services.
