Recent Experience

Prosecuted numerous trade-mark applications.
Various clients on the advertising, labelling, packaging and other requirements under, and compliance with: the Food and Drugs Act; the Food and Drugs Regulations; the Natural Health Products Regulations; the Medical Devices Regulations; and the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations.
The Intellectual Property Institute of Canada (IPIC), Canada's preeminent association of intellectual property professionals, as an intervener in the Federal Court of Appeal. The case involved a novel legal issue as to whether non-compliance with the Public Servants Inventions Act can be grounds to invalidate a patent. IPIC successfully argued that the validity of a patent can only be judged against what the Patent Act and Patent Rules require; an earlier order granting summary judgment was set aside in its entirety.
