D2R X Norton Rose Fulbright | Protecting Your Ideas: A Guide for Innovators

Tue, 02/17/2026 - 14:40

“Innovation” is everywhere these days—but beyond the buzzword, what does it really mean for a young company, and how can you turn it into a concrete competitive advantage? This presentation demystifies intellectual property (IP) and shows why it matters far more than many founders think.

We’ll explore briefly the different forms of IP and clarify what each protects in practical terms. You’ll discover when an idea becomes an “invention,” when you should consider filing a patent, and who the right professionals are to guide you along the way.

Temporary Issue with Lenel Building Access

Tue, 02/17/2026 - 12:45

We are currently investigating a system-wide issue affecting Lenel building access for some students and postdoctoral fellows. Impacted individuals may find their building access is unexpectedly not working. This appears to be an access issue (not a card replacement issue).

Please do not replace your card unless you are specifically advised to do so. We are working to restore access as quickly as possible and will post updates as they become available.

New study provides advice on how to boost participation in physical activity among autistic youth

Tue, 02/17/2026 - 09:21

Researchers investigating how to increase participation in physical activity by autistic children and teens say key strategies include creating predictable routines, involving family members and ensuring safe and sensory-friendly spaces.

Those were among 95 “facilitators” yielded by their review of previously published research on the subject. Autistic youth are less physically active than their peers, who are already not physically active enough, the researchers said, noting that physical activity could be beneficial to their physical, social and emotional health.

AI replaces tasks, not entire jobs

Fri, 02/13/2026 - 12:01

AI is changing the workplace, but it usually doesn’t replace entire jobs. Before laying people off because of ‘AI efficiencies’, employers need a solid plan. “We may or may not overestimate how much AI will affect the world of work, but we’ve figured out that it does not destroys jobs, it destroys tasks,” says Lisa Cohen, Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour at Թ Desautels.

Fri, 02/13/2026 - 11:59

Artificial intelligence is expected to reshape the labour market, but its impact won’t be felt evenly across all types of jobs. In Quebec, roughly 59 per cent of jobs are considered highly exposed to AI—meaning the technology is likely to change how people work rather than eliminate roles outright.
