Patently Absurd, Episode 7: Subject matter, emerging technologies and trying to make this all look appealing

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 7: Subject matter, emerging technologies and trying to make this all look appealing

Join Niki and Andy for the final episode of Patently Absurd in 2022. In the seventh episode, they will discuss the age-old but recurring topic of patentable subject matter and the Benjamin Moore case pending at the Court of Appeal. For something new they will look at recent patent cases addressing emerging technologies and touch on the very recent Supreme Court decision on accounting of profits in Nova v. Dow. For the something borrowed section, they will be joined by their Torys colleague Andrew Bernstein, who will, under the rubric of “lost trials are not necessarily lost cases,” discuss the role of appellate advocacy in patent cases.

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

Something Old: Patentable subject matter under appeal
