IP Intensive: The Purview of Industrial Policy – Ruminations from Selected INDU Committee Meetings - A Semester at ISED

At law school, policy is often a background discussion – something left to private chats with professors or fellow students as a creature of curiosity.

IP Intensive: What’s that Bear? You’re comfortable with these risks? - A Semester at TVO

Like most 30 somethings who grew up in Ontario, my parents plopped me down in front of TVO to watch Today’s Special and the Polka-Dot-Door. However, unlike most 30 somethings, I spent my mid-twenties advocating for independent documentary programming with the Documentary Organization of Canada (DOC). Consequently, I had a different relationship with TVO. As […]

IP Intensive: Not Just a Network, but THE Network: my 10-week placement at the CBC

I began my placement on a cloudy, rainy day when I walked into the John Street entrance at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (“CBC”).

IP Intensive: An Engineer in Silicon Valley Plus a Law Student at Stanford University Equals a Kid in a Candy Store - A Semester at CodeX

My experience at CodeX at Stanford University was like being a kid in a candy store.

CodeX was such an opportunity. […]
