Many applicants seek due care reinstatement, but few are chosen. Early experiences with CIPO's "due care" regime have been frustrating: opaque guidance and high standards, and a process that moves at a glacial pace. What can agents do to help their clients salvage their applications and patents?

Please join us as Jenna Wilson discusses the following:

  • How unintended abandonments and expiries happen; and
  • Dissecting CIPO's analytical process:
    • Why due care submissions fail, and what can be done about it.
    • How CIPO's "due care" standard matches up with the Code of Professional Conduct and professional negligence.
The presentation is eligible for up to one hour of substantive CPD.
