I had the privilege of spending my IPOsgoode intensive placement at the Canadian Intellectual Property Office. While two and a half months might seem long in law school, my time with the office flew by.

My experience has been the most rewarding learning experience that I have had at Osgoode Hall Law School.
I admit I was a little anxious about spending ten weeks in Ottawa Hull. The experience of staying in Hull is a story in its own right, so the first day (before starting at CIPO) had me really questioning my life choices. But it didn’t take long to realize that CIPO is a great place […]
