The point you're raising is that we could see an increase in or an expansion of the number of trademark registrations from abroad that are broad in scope. That's the normal concept of a troll. Instead of identifying just one product or number of products that I'll bring to market, I'll just try to seek to protect the full scope of the marketplace for that product.
I would note that we already have checks and balances in the current system. There's actually nothing to prevent somebody from trying to do that now, other than the examination process that exists and an opposition process that is run by the Canadian Intellectual Property Office. As well, businesses can come forward and complain about the scope of an application, in particular if it's infringing on a trademark that they are already using in the marketplace or for which they have protection.
The risk already exists. It actually hasn't materialized. There's not a flood of trademark trolls; we're hearing now about trolling in copyright as well as patents, so it seems to be an IP phenomenon. In this bill, other than the fact that we are joining the global community in terms of trademarks, there's nothing to suggest that there will be an increase. In fact, we are maintaining the mechanisms to protect, reduce the scope, and deal with it.
