The patent agent profession grew generally out of Ottawa first, because that's where the patent and trademark office was located. Before the Internet, everything was done on paper. You'd go to the office and search. Today the profession is across the country. We have many members in B.C., mostly in Vancouver, but some in Victoria as well, and so on.
The institute itself and its staff are located in Ottawa, and I don't think they're necessarily interested in moving. However, if we create a college of patent and trademark agents, this is a new organization. It's open as to where that office would be located, so it could be southern British Columbia.
