We had a virtual meeting with Jaime-Lynn Kraft and Kohji Suzuki from Smart & Biggar. They were kind enough to update us on some trending topics such as the newly passed Bill 96 pertaining to the use of French Language and how it will influence trademark usage and also the current state of affairs with examination times by CIPO. They also gave us some tips related to the examination of fast-track applications and divisional applications (with respect to pre-approved goods). We took the liberty of updated them on some process changes here at the JPO.
