The CBA Intellectual Property Section is seeking participation in its various Committees. These Committees provide Section members with opportunities to:

• Comment on proposed changes to legislation and regulatory policies
• Keep abreast of developments in intellectual property law
• Network with others with similar interests

Committees need the contribution of Section members to deliver relevant services to CBA members. Member participation also ensure our submissions to legislative and regulatory bodies reflect the full range of member perspectives.
