With our guest speaker\, Julian Ho and host Byron Thom\, we will explore practical approaches to embedding IP best practices into the fabric of your startup. \n​In the tech world\, your IP is the spark of innovation that can light up the market and lead to lasting value — or fizzle out if not properly safeguarded.

Bring your questions\, share your experiences\, and learn from peers navigating the same challenges.\n\n​We are pleased to welcome our Guest Speaker\, Julian Ho\, and Host\, Byron Thom: \n​Julian Ho \n​Julian is a patent agent\, trademark agent\, and VP\, Legal at Clarius Mobile Health. As a part of the Government of Canada’s Global Hypergrowth Project\, Clarius was recently recognized as one of Canada’s fastest-growing companies. Julian spearheaded IP strategy at Clarius: achieving 50+ issued patents\, navigating licensing issues\, and growing the business from pre-revenue to over $30M revenue annually. \n​Byron Thom \n​Byron is a lifelong technology enthusiast who has worn many hats in his tech career. Trained as an engineer and a lawyer\, he practiced at one of the leading IP boutiques in Canada helping startups and multinationals protect their technological assets. He is a start-up founder and patented inventor who drafted and prosecuted his company’s own patent applications.
