A technical paper was published by the Canadian Intellectual Property Office in 2001. Following that, the Canadian Intellectual Property Office conducted public consultations in 2005 and again in 2010. In the fall of 2013 we conducted targeted consultations with a number of our stakeholders, including the major IP associations: FICPI , INTA , and IPIC. We also consulted with the Molson Coors company in Canada.
