BIO Conference attendee Cynthia Shippam-Brett picked up an Apple (PRODUCT) RED Special Edition iPod shuffle after being the first person to find me on the Exhibitor Hall floor at Bio2009 and ask for the Patent Baristas’ iBarista iPod.
Cynthia is a member of the Intellectual Property Group in the Vancouver office of Gowlings. While her practice is focused on patent prosecution and drafting for the life sciences, she said she’d enjoy listening to the iPod.
After spending time talking about US and Canadian patent prosecution over Tim Horton’s coffee — and getting a good laugh about the merits of trying to traverse a restriction in the US — Cynthia gave me a stuffed red blood cell toy to give my daughter. I wonder what nightmares that could cause?
