Patently Absurd, Episode 6: The role of the expert, new utility and statute of monopoly claims

Join Torys' intellectual property lawyers for an informal discussion on all aspects of patent law. We’ll be analyzing the old, the new—and most definitely the absurd—in candid conversation, all while taking questions from the audience and welcoming special guests along the way.

Episode 6: The role of the expert, new utility and statute of monopoly claims

Join Niki and Andy for the fall edition of Patently Absurd. In episode six, the pair will build on the spring session and this time discuss the role of expert evidence and the person of ordinary skill in the art. In addition, they will discuss the new frontiers in the law of utility in the five years since the death of the “promise doctrine.” For the something borrowed section, they will be joined by their Torys colleague Rachael Saab, who will discuss the Ontario Court of Appeal’s recent decision in respect of claims brought by patent challengers for relief under the Statute of Monopolies.

Come with your morning beverage of choice and your questions to join us for another informal discussion on all aspects of patent law.
