Centre for Intellectual Property Policy (CIPP)

The Centre for Intellectual Property Policy was founded in April 2003 as part of McGill University’s Faculty of Law.

The CIPP emerged as the initiative of Professors Richard Gold and David Lametti, two leading intellectual property scholars at McGill University’s Faculty of Law. The CIPP was established to increase Montreal’s attractiveness and competitiveness by facilitating intellectual property research, technology transfer, commercialization and knowledge mobilization.

In October 2003, the CIPP received one of the most significant grants ever awarded to legal researchers by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Since then, the CIPP rapidly expanded to form a network of national and international researchers in a range of intellectual property related disciplines.

									Normes énormes: inflation législative
								
Si les juristes déplorent régulièrement l’inflation législative, la profusion des lois, les remèdes à ce « cancer » qui ravage l’activité des législatures, sont encore à découvrir.
