IP scams on the rise: What every business needs to know

Join us for a live webinar on intellectual property (IP) scams that are targeting businesses across Canada. Trademark scams are the most common ones, and scammers are becoming more sophisticated in how they imitate official communications.

We’ll explain common scams that pretend to be from the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO), as well as scams that impersonate IP professionals. We’ll also look at deceptive marketing practices more broadly to help you recognize red flags.

Our panel includes guests from the Competition Bureau Canada (Bureau) and from the College of Patent Agents and Trademark Agents (College), with a representative from CIPO.

You’ll leave the session with practical, easy-to-follow tips to help you recognize scams and protect your business from increasingly sophisticated fraudsters.
