2024 was an active year in Canadian patent law. Canadian courts issued several decisions on the merits regarding invalidity and/or infringement. They considered due care in the context of paying maintenance fees, regulatory issues related to patented medicines, and remedies available when a patent is infringed, among other patent related issues.
Our presenters Andrea Berenbaum, Ryan De Vries and Michael Sgro provide an annual summary of key developments in Canadian patent law. This webinar offers a valuable opportunity for legal professionals and others interested in Canadian patent law to gain an overview of developments in 2024. Speakers will highlight a significant statutory change and discuss notable points raised in the reported decisions.
