 PROTECTING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IS IMPORTANT FOR CANADIAN JOBS

On June 2, 2010, the Honourable Tony Clement, Minister of Industry, and the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages, announced the introduction of the Copyright Modernization Act. 

A new bill on copyright was tabled in the House of Commons on June 2, 2010. This new bill, C-32, the Copyright Modernization Act takes a balanced approach although more analysis will need to be done in the coming days. The Copyright Act has not been reformed significantly in the past 10 years. New rights and protections are required if rights holders are to better reach new markets, adapt their business models and combat infringement in a digital environment.

For more information, please go to www.balancedcopyright.gc.ca.
