The 
Person

Adele is an enthusiastic chorister (alto section) with several choirs. She has been known to hum (on key) while working. Adele is also a lover of nature and a shoe manufacturer’s dream client, having hiked over 2500 kilometers on the trails of Canada’s national parks.

Important note: The Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) has recently undergone major changes to its internal IT system. Consequently, a number of CIPO’s routine operations are experiencing significant delays, including processing correspondence and filings, issuing outgoing correspondence, maintaining accurate application statuses, and more. It is currently unknown when these delays will be resolved, but we will continue to closely monitor all cases and the situation for any developments.
