Patent infringement in Canadian law information


Once an invention is patented in Canada, exclusive rights are granted to the patent holder as defined by s.42 of the Patent Act (R.S.C., 1985, c. P-4).[1] Any interference with the patent holder's "full enjoyment of the monopoly granted by the patent" is considered a patent infringement.[2] Making, constructing, using, or selling a patented invention without the patent holder's permission can constitute infringement.[1] Possession of a patented object,[3] use of a patented object in a process,[4] and inducement or procurement of an infringement[5] may also, in some cases, count as infringement.
