International Trademark Laws Committee hosted their online seminars on recent developments in trademark law in jurisdictions around the world. On November 8, 2023, François discussed the history and implications of Quebec's French language charter, highlighting its provisions for ensuring the rights of the people in terms of commerce. He also addressed the impacts of Bill 96 on trademark exceptions and packaging labeling, the new trademark exception in Canada, and the requirement for public signage to be in French. He emphasized the challenges businesses face in complying with the new regulations and the importance of registering non-French trademarks used in Quebec.
