1. The Mission Canada IPR Working Group is pleased to
announce that the Canada IPR Toolkit is now available on
Embassy Ottawa,s general website, in response to Ref A. The
toolkit is designed to assist smaller businesses in locating
the information necessary to protect their IP in Canada. As
noted in Ref B, the toolkit is more streamlined than the
China or Russia versions. Because Canada has clear laws and
a reliable judicial system relatively easy for U.S.
businesses to navigate, the toolkit acts as a straightforward
link-based guide that directs the user to a number of GOC
websites specifically addressing IPR issues. The toolkit
also points the user to a number of U.S. and international
IPR sources.

2. The toolkit may be accessed by clicking on the
&Intellectual Property Rights Toolkit8 icon on the Embassy
Ottawa homepage, canada.usembassy.gov/content/index.asp

UN News: Nowhere To Go In Gaza

UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said some 1.1M people would be expected to leave northern Gaza and that such a movement would be “impossible” without devastating humanitarian consequences and appeals for the order to be rescinded. The WHO joined the call for Israel to rescind the relocation order, which amounted to a “death sentence” for many. More


Access Now: Telecom Blackout In Gaza An Attack On Human Rights

By October 10, reports indicated that fixed-line internet, mobile data, SMS, telephone, and TV networks are all seriously compromised.
