TITLE:
Rights to Innovations Made by Employees

SPEAKER:
Steve Leach, Associate, Ridout & Maybee LLP

HOST: 
Eric Luvisotto, Dana Corporation

Licensing a property presupposes the licensor has rights to license.  This can be complicated if, as is often the case, the innovation in question has been created by an employee.   This discussion will:

• Provide an overview of innovation ownership issues
• Provide guidance as to innovation ownership best practices

Steve Leach practices intellectual property law with Ridout & Maybee in Mississauga.

Steve’s legal practice is focused on helping Canadian and international clients secure and license patent, trade-mark and copyrights. 

Steve is a member of the Canadian Intellectual Property Office “Bank of Speakers” and has given presentations on intellectual property law to various bodies including the Hamilton and Markham Chambers of Commerce, Seneca College and the University of Toronto at Mississauga.

COST:
$25.00. Includes a light lunch and is payable at the door.
