Canadian intellectual property stakeholders can now learn how to spot scams, see real examples of scams, and report suspicious activity through the Canadian Intellectual Property Office’s new IP Scam Awareness Zone website.

The website comes on the heels of Canadian businesses and intellectual property owners increasingly being the target of scams, such as those that misuse publicly available intellectual property information and/or impersonate legitimate patent and trademark agents, intellectual property firms, and government agencies.
