  • The Presumption of Validity in Canadian Patent Law
    NOTES The Presumption of Validity in Canadian Patent Law The role of the presumption in our legal system can best be understood in the light of the fact-finding process, for it permits a party to prove to the court facts crucial to his case merely by establishing the existence of other facts, from which the court will deduce the existence of the primary facts which he alleges. Article 1349 of the Code Napolgon provides that: Les pr6somptions sont des consequences que la loi on le magistrat tire d'un fait connu h un fait inconnu. The implications of this definition' are important, for they indicate that, in strict legal terms, it is not proper to speak of presumptions with respect to a question of law. On the contrary, the term "presumption" is by definition confined to the fact-finding process. Although it follows from this line of reasoning that section 48 of the Patent Act 2 does not create a presumption in favour of a patentee since the issue as to the validity of a patent is ultimately a question of law and one for the courts to decide, there is no doubt that the section, by providing that the patent is "prima facie valid", places a burden upon a litigant challenging the right of the patentee. At the outset, it must be emphasized that the term "presumption" will be used throughout this note in its conventional sense as opposed to its narrow legal meaning. That is to say, the term will indicate that, when it applies, a presumption has the effect of placing upon one party an onus which he would otherwise not have to bear, and, conversely, alleviating the burden of the person opposing him.

The Right to Repair Doctrine and the Use of 3D Printing Technology in Canadian Patent Law Tesh W. Dagne and Gosia Piasecka* Abstract 3D printing technology is part of a new economic movement, termed the sharing economy, where consumers rely less on large corporations for supplying them with products. The technology allows consumers to bypass the traditional manufacturing process. Instead, consumers increasingly share and sell products to each other on online sharing platforms. Consumers can download digital copies of products and print them in the convenience of their homes. In addition, they can repair and modify these products to suit their needs. Canadian patent law permits the repair of a patent-protected item but prohibits its reconstruction.
