IP Thinking (Volume 1, Issue 1)

View Full Version (PDF)

McCarthy Tétrault is proud to introduce our IP newsletter, IP Thinking.

It is our hope that IP Thinking will be read broadly by individuals who share an interest in Canadian intellectual property law. The articles in each issue will be selected to reflect important developments in each IP discipline, with commentary by specialists in those fields.

For example, in this edition you will find an analysis of the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision in Sanofi-Synthelabo, an important patent law decision particularly on the question of obviousness. We explain the ill-fated Bill C-61, a much-debated piece of copyright reform legislation. The importance of brands as valuable assets is emphasized. Critical developments in Patented Medicines (Notice of Compliance) litigation are also highlighted, with a commentary on the first decision of the Federal Court to consider the issue of s. 8 liability.

We hope you find these articles both interesting and useful. If you have any ideas or suggestions that would make our newsletter more interesting and useful for you, please let us know.

Steven Mason and Steven Tanner (Editors)
