Intellectual Property

This book covers the legal and practical issues that Canadian patent lawyers and patent agents are likely to face in everyday practice before the courts and the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO).

This book focuses on the fundamental legal and business realities of patent law practice. Originally created as a resource for Canadian judges, this volume provides a thorough analysis of Canadian patent law.

This resource extracts the essential points from an immense body of law. Commentary covers the requirements for patentability, infringement actions, Patent Office practice and procedure, conflicting applications and many other topics.

This text brings together the full text of the current and former versions of the Patent Act (pre Oct. 1, 1989 and post Oct. 1, 1989) and Regulations and Rules, the Plant Breeders' Rights Act and Regulations, plus prescribed forms and related material. The year in review and the introductory commentary fully update you on legislative, jurisprudential and practice developments.
