Patently Absurd, Episode 3: Claim construction, prior art and all things patent agents

Register and submit your question

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 3: Claim construction, prior art and all things patent agents

In the last episode of Patently Absurd for the year, Niki Mantini and Andy Shaughnessy will again take listeners through some things old, some things new and some things borrowed. They will also welcome their patent prosecution colleague Michele Clarizio to talk about the regulation of patent agents in Canada. So come ready with your morning beverage of choice and your questions to hear the panel discuss the following topics and deal with the absurd in their usual informal and candid style.

Something Old: Direct vs indirect infringement; construction as a matter of law.
Something New: Judicial review, CSPs and prior art.
Something Borrowed: Michele Clarizio on patent agency and the College.
