As a part of the IP Osgoode Intensive Program I had the unique opportunity to work with in-house counsel for Canada’s most authoritative national newspaper. As much as I cherish a grueling law school semester, I have to admit that my experience at The Globe and Mail was significantly more enjoyable.
My time at Industry Canada as an IP Intensive student intern last fall was spent working within the Strategic Policy Sector (SPS), and more specifically a sub-group within the SPS called the Copyright and Trade-mark Policy Directorate (CTPD). The CTPD, along with the Department of Canadian Heritage and the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO), is responsible for […]
My 10 week internship at Actavis’ Canadian arm (formerly known as Cobalt), through Osgoode’s IP Intensive Program coincided with a very exciting time for the company. The company recently expanded through a number of acquisitions to make it the third-largest generic pharmaceutical company globally, with commercial operations in more than 60 countries worldwide.

What does this organization do? In a nutshell, ventureLAB exists to help people succeed as entrepreneurs. “Mentoring - Partnering - Connecting” is the official motto of […]

If you’re ever in southern California, Starline Tours offers a special “celebrity homes” tour where they take you on a bus to see where movie stars live. But, despite being an ardent film fanatic, I’ve never been particularly interested in celebrity watching* or Hollywood mansions. What would be far more interesting is exploring northern California […]
Practical learning experiences are a great addition to regular classroom learning and Osgoode Hall is leading the way with great clinical education opportunities, especially the Intellectual Property Law & Technology Intensive Program (IP Intensive), which I was lucky enough to be a part of last semester.
I write this blog as a final rumination on the past two and half months of my law school life, which have been spent at the copyright collective known as the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN). I think I can safely say that the time I have spent there has […]
Prior to starting at ventureLAB (VL), I was unsure of what to expect from my placement and felt a little out of my element. In the past, I had little exposure to entrepreneurs, particularly small to medium sized technology start-ups, but felt excited about the opportunity to apply the intellectual property (IP) law information I […]
