Following ratification of the Patent Law Treaty (PLT) by Canada,
new
Patent Rules came into force on October 30, 2019
primarily to amended Canadian patent practices to comply with this
treaty. See our articles herewhich describe in detail
the changes brought in by the new
Rules. Since their
coming into force (CIF), we have seen a series of changes such as
shortened deadlines, new correction procedures, submission of
certified copies of priority documents, overhauled abandonment and
reinstatement procedures and a requirement for a showing of due
care for some reinstatements.
Transitional provisions are included in the
Patent
Rules for applications having a filing date prior to the CIF.
