The 
Person

Janice likes to keep active by walking and hiking and actually uses her treadmill regularly. She is an avid reader and enjoys solving puzzles, and every spring, she can’t wait to get her hands into the dirt in her garden.

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.
