Working Together for Change

As an affiliate of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the CIPC is able to effective lobby the government to ensure the promotion of intellectual property rights while at the same time keeping abreast of the concerns of the Canadian business community. Our membership represents a wide range of Canadian businesses including entertainment, consumer goods, software, electrical, legal professionals, pharmaceuticals and small business enterprises.

By working closely with law enforcement officials and members of the academic community, the CIPC is actively trying to promote better awareness and respect for intellectual property rights within Canada. The CIPC is also engaged on the international level through its participation in international meetings and events, and by working closely with a variety of international organizations. The CIPC works to ensure that IPR remains high on Canada’s policy agenda, both domestic and abroad.

While the Canadian government has begun to address the gaps in Canada IPR regime, much more needs to be done. The CIPC strives for the creation of an IPR environment in which Canadian businesses can prosper and Canadian consumers are safe from the dangers posed by counterfeit goods.
