Congratulations Kimberly!
July 10th, 2019
MBM’s own, Kimberly Dunn, achieved the highest overall mark across Canada on the Trademark Agent Qualifying Examination in the most recent exam cohort.
As a result, she will be the recipient of the Educational Foundation Award given by the Intellectual Property Institute of Canada (IPIC). The award will be officially presented during the Institute’s Annual Conference in Ottawa-Gatineau, September 25-27, 2019, at the Gala Dinner.
A total of 98 candidates across the country wrote the exam in 2018. Out of those, 32 candidates passed the exam resulting in a passing rate of 33% (13 passed on their first sitting; 15 on the second; 1 on the third; 2 on the fourth; and 1 on the fifth sitting). [1]
Kimberly wrote and passed the exam on her first try and obtained the highest mark of: 154 out of 160 for Part A; 142 out of 150 for Part B; with the highest overall mark of 296 out of 310.
We are so proud and happy for Kimberly and her tremendous achievement and excellence in the trademark profession and want to congratulate her on becoming (in our opinion the best!) registered Canadian Trademark Agent.
A bit more about Kimberly:
Kimberly is an MBM veteran; she started with MBM in 2008 as a paralegal working in both patents and trademarks but decided to focus her career on the trademark practice and becoming a registered Trademark Agent.
In her spare time, Kimberly enjoys reading (especially true crime and murder mystery books), travelling the back roads of Ontario and taking photographs of hidden gems found during her travels. On rainy (and truly Canadian snowy) days, she spends her time indoors completing various arts and crafts projects, including knitting, bead work, scrapbooking and painting. She also has a passion for baseball and is a fan of the Toronto Blue Jays and regularly attends their games.
