Yesterday, I had the privilege of meeting Michael Colucci and Priya Balakumar, MSc from Intellectual Property Ontario (IPON). Our discussion reinforced how intellectual property is not just a legal safeguard. It is a cornerstone of innovation and business growth. IPON is empowering Ontario entrepreneurs, researchers, and businesses with the tools to protect and scale their ideas.
