Ottawa—A Liberal MP’s bill to allow owners to fix hi-tech equipment needs to be enhanced to provide for case by case assessments of when and what can be independently repaired, the Intellectual Property Institute of Canada has told the Commons industry committee.
IPIC is the professional association of lawyers and patent and trademark agents in all areas of intellectual property. IPIC believes amendments are needed for the bill to comply with various treaties and trade agreements. “We are concerned with the blanket approach taken in the current bill and unintended consequences that may follow.”
Such a framework would comply with our treaty obligations, better align with our trading partners and manage other risks, all while aiming to achieve the government’s policy objectives, she said.
