LifeSciences BC was pleased to present Tools for Protecting and Commercializing Life Science, once again hosted generously by Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP, this time in Victoria, BC on December 1, 2008.  Sincere thanks also go to the Vancouver Island Technology Park, VIATeC and BC Innovation Council for their support of this event.

Gowlings professionals Jane Baggott, Principal, Trade Mark Agent; Peter Fairey, Partner; Konrad A. Sechley, Principal, Patent Agent;and Cynthia Shippam-Brett, Patent Agent were on had to speak to attendees in Victoria.  Participants enjoyed a full agenda and the opportunity for networking in Victoria.

This half-day workshop addressed issues relating to commercialization and protection of life sciences technologies with topics ranging from trade secrets, patents, and trademarks, to corporate structure, financing and tax. This was a good opportunity for executives, management and technology transfer professionals working in the life sciences to review recent developments in legalities relevant to life sciences companies, and to ensure that their companies are one the right track towards commercial success.
