Hosted by the Intellectual Property Institute of Canada in partnership with the LES USA-Canada Montreal Chapter.
Practitioners based in Quebec and elsewhere in Canada regularly incorporate into IP contracts that they draft, such as confidentiality agreements, service contracts, licenses, IP transfer contracts, co-development agreements, etc., standard clauses borrowed from the common law. This practice raises many questions, including:
- Are these clauses valid?
- How are they interpreted in civil law and what are their effect?
- Are there better standard clauses derived from civil law?
- What are the best practices?
