The 
Person

Robert enjoys traveling and has been to every province and territory of Canada except for Nunavut, and to every continent except for Africa and Antarctica. Beyond travel, other interests include volleyball, beach volleyball, curling, board games, video games, bar trivia, and old TV and movies.

 

Important note: The Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) has recently undergone major changes to its internal IT system. Consequently, a number of CIPO’s routine operations are experiencing significant delays, including processing correspondence and filings, issuing outgoing correspondence, maintaining accurate application statuses, and more. It is currently unknown when these delays will be resolved, but we will continue to closely monitor all cases and the situation for any developments.
