Key Consideration for Life Sciences Patent Litigation
May 02, 2026
Life sciences and pharmaceuticals sit at the centre of our practice. This is the sector where our experience runs deepest: multiple Supreme Court of Canada appearances, decades of Federal Court and Federal Court of Appeal jurisprudence, and countless mandates related to Health Canada, the Patented Medicines (Notice of Compliance) Regulations, the Food and Drug Regulations, andthe Patented Medicines Prices Review Board.
Our pharmaceutical patent litigation practice spans the full range of disputes related to market entry, exclusivity, and associated remedies. Alongside patent litigation,including extensive experience under the Patented Medicines (Notice of Compliance) Regulations, we have direct experience in judicial reviews and the regulatory and quasi-judicial proceedings that are distinct to this sector. Our partners have appeared before the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board and have advised extensively on data protection and supplementary protection certificates under the Food and Drug Regulations. Few firms combine this regulatory fluency with serious patent litigation experience under one roof: we treat the two as inseparable, because in this sector, they usually are.
