Last week I had the opportunity to speak at the 27th Annual Fraud and Anti-Counterfeiting Conference organized by Lipkus Law LLP. I presented a compelling case study on our actions against sellers of counterfeit thermoses manufactured with steel that is not safe for human consumption. I discussed best practices for pursuing these types of actions and emphasized how crucial collaboration with law enforcement is to achieve the best results. Thank you Lorne Lipkus and David S. Lipkus for the invitation to participate in the conference. #ip #intellectualproperty #trademarks #enforcement #anticounterfeiting #fraudprevention #consumersafety Marval O'Farrell, Mairal

Thank you to all our 150+ attendees, 50+ speakers, sponsors and the wonderful staff at the Novotel North York hotel for their contribution to the success of our 27th Annual Fraud and Anti-counterfeiting Conference held October 16 and 17, 2024. Our attendees and speakers came from across Canada, the USA, Mexico, Central America, South America and the EU. It was wonderful to hear so many different perspectives on the global issues surrounding fraud and anti-counterfeiting. Special thanks to our many sponsors who helped contribute to our breakfasts, dinners, health breaks, and receptions, allowing everyone to work and share best practices, tips and techniques. It was a special pleasure, for the 12th time for my wife, Terry and I, to host the main conference reception at my house on Wednesday October 16, with our friends at Arochi & Lindner. We look forward to planning our 28th Annual Conference next fall and will keep you updated on our planning.

So thrilled to be participating in the Fashion Law Africa Summit at Shopify HQ in Toronto! Looking forward to speaking this afternoon about Shattering Ceilings, Defining Trends, and Safeguarding Brands in Canada's Fashion & Beauty Industry! Lipkus Law LLP

Very happy of having participated once again as speaker at the 27th Annual Fraud an Anticounterfeiting Conference hosted by The Firm of the Year according to the WTR for Anticounterfiting in the US and Canada, Lipkus Law LLC in Toronto.

Thanks Lipkus Law LLP for having me. Great opportunity to share time with brands, officers, enforcement people, colleagues and friends. ❤️🇨🇦

Great to represent Intellectual Property Institute of Canada (IPIC) today at the 27th Annual Fraud and Anti-Counterfeiting Conference, hosted by Lipkus Law LLP! The audience of law enforcement, brand owners and other public and foreign officials and counsel and public interest organizations do us all a service by sharing best practices for anti-counterfeiting enforcement in a difficult environment in Canada. I hope that the information I provided about Intellectual Property Institute of Canada (IPIC) can help turbocharge better policy in this critical area of IP. I used to have to babysit my younger siblings in the evening while my Dad Lorne Lipkus and Mom Terry Lipkus hosted conference attendees at our home in the very early days of this conference. It is great to be back in a non-babysitting capacity!
