Intermediate

The Supreme Court of Canada opened the gates to summary judgment in Hryniak v Mauldin. The Federal Courts have responded with an increased willingness to allow summary judgment in patent matters. But recently in Gemak Trust v Jempak Corporation, the Federal Court of Appeal signaled this trend may be coming to an end—or did they? This webinar will address trends and developing issues around summary judgment in patent matters, including:

  • How has the “culture shift” around summary judgment affected patent matters?
  • What are the hallmarks of a patent case that is suitable for summary judgment?
  • When do issues of credibility preclude summary judgment?
  • How is summary judgment limited compared to summary trial?
  • What is the future of summary judgment in patent cases?
  • What are the implications for summary disposition in other areas of IP?
