IP Intensive: A Semester at AstraZeneca Canada
Last semester, as part of Osgoode’s Intellectual Property Law and Technology Intensive Program, I had the opportunity to work with in-house counsel at AstraZeneca Canada. Having previously completed graduate studies in organic chemistry, I had always been very interested in the scientific aspects of the drug development process so I was very excited to have the chance to learn about the legal issues pharmaceutical companies face after a product has been developed. While issues relating to intellectual property law were certainly central to the work I carried out over the semester, I was also exposed to other areas of law important to AstraZeneca Canada’s business. I think the most important lesson I will take away from my time at AstraZeneca is how crucial it is to understand how a business works in order to fully understand its legal needs.

IP Intensive: 10 Weeks at SOCAN - Getting Immersed in the World of Copyright Collectives
This past fall, as part of Osgoode’s Intellectual Property Law & Technology Intensive Program, I spent ten weeks at the Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers of Canada (SOCAN). This was my first choice of a placement organization, because I was seeking not just experience in copyright law, but also experience in civil litigation. From my Copyright class I’d learned that every other copyright case that made it all the way to the Supreme Court involved SOCAN, so I knew that this was the place to be for any aspiring IP litigator. And SOCAN certainly did not disappoint. I gained so much hands-on knowledge of the federal court process and the civil litigation process that I feel like a seasoned lawyer now!
