course has expired and is no-longer eligible for CLE.
Canada looks a lot like the US in the many ways, and US businesses are familiar with selling their goods and services north of the border. When it comes to patent law and patent prosecution, however, there are new and notable distinctions that U.S. applicants and parties will want to keep in mind. New Canadian Patent Rules are coming into force in October 2022, which will materially impact patent strategies. Also, recent Canadian cases relating to subject matter eligibility should make it much easier to protect computer-implemented inventions, and recent cases about summary judgment and summary trials are making Canada a more interesting venue for patent owners.
