Quotes from Partner Anthony de Fazekas were shared by Communitech in an article about how Canada can use intellectual property to protect its innovations and benefit from the value they generate. The article notes that Canada could benefit from strengthening its IP strategy to help ensure that the value of its technology stays within Canada.

“One of the biggest problems I see is the knee-jerk approach of ‘I have a technology, let’s just file a patent,’” Anthony says. “We need to think about value creation more broadly, such as human expertise, processes, data and organizational know-how. That’s all IP.”
