At the AIPPI annual meeting I participated as chairman of the international leadership team for Study Question 278 "Industrial designs and the role of prior art".  Previous to this, I had also been chairman of the Canadian group studying this question.

I also participated in the Canadian Group studying Q276 "Inventiveness and sufficiency of disclosure in AI inventions"

In addition I participated as discussion leader in the AIPPI cafe 34 session "Parody, satire and pastiche"  lead by Dale Nelson.
