IP Osgoode Opportunities

Call for Summer IPilogue Editors

Application Deadline: January 31, 2013

The IPilogue is the first blog of its kind populated with entries from student editors at Osgoode Hall Law School and other law schools across Canada and around the world, as well as postings from expert bloggers from across the globe.  The IPIGRAM is our weekly e-digest of IPilogue content.

The blog contains comments and thoughts about current pressing intellectual property, technology, privacy and related legal issues (see the blog at http://www.iposgoode.ca/) and has a wide-ranging following in Canada and internationally from government, industry, academia and from other expert groups and members of the general public.

Many student posts have enabled greater employment opportunities for students, sparked informed debates on various issues, and led to publication in leading journals and a following in a number of law and policy forums.

IP Osgoode invites applications from law students, Osgoode and non-Osgoode alike, for the following summer positions:

• IPilogue Editor
• IPilogue Content Editor
• IPilogue Art Editor

Call for Summer CCR/IP Osgoode Innovation Clinical Fellows

Application Deadline: January 31, 2013

IP Osgoode and the Ontario Centres of Excellence’s (OCE) Centre for Commercialization of Research (CCR) have established the first student-staffed innovation clinic in Canada.  We are seeking law students to provide legal services to organizations that need assistance in their innovation and commercialization activities.

It is expected that the majority of the work done by students will relate to patent law.  The remaining time would be spent working on other IP-related needs as they arise, (e.g. assistance with trade-mark, copyright, or trade secret issues).  The students’ work during the placement may include:

• reviewing business transactions involving IP
• assisting with various steps in the patent prosecution process (i.e.: conducting prior art searches, reviewing patent specifications)
• performing freedom-to-operate and clearance searches
• assisting with various steps in the trade-mark prosecution process
• conducting legal research
