DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Intellectual Property Policy (CIPP) welcomes Mr.
  Stephen Perry (Perry & Currier\, Currier & Kao\, Patent and Trademark Age
 nts).  Abstract  The policy rationale for patents is that public disclosur
 e of inventions promotes innovation. The relationship between advances in 
 innovation and growth of patents in the 19th and 20th centuries suggests t
 hat the bargain has been fair. Today\, patent law is straining to accommod
 ate technologies never contemplated by its legislative drafters\, and to f
 ind the correct balance between rewarding innovation and encouraging compe
 tition. Can the patent system survive the strain?  This event is free for 
 the public\, but lawyers seeking Quebec Bar accreditation (1.5 hours of co
 ntinuing legal education) must pay $30 on arrival. For more information\, 
 please contact david.groves [at] mail.mcgill.ca.
