  • Eli Lilly Canada Inc., Eli Lilly and Company, Lilly Del Caribe, Inc., Lilly S.A., and ICOS Corporation in defending against all marketing generic companies in a number of patent infringement matters relating to CIALIS® and ADCIRCA® tadalafil products. In all cases, allegations of infringement of three patents, relating to unit doses, formulations and processes, are asserted.
  • A copyright infringement matter against two Italian companies, alleging infringement of nautical charts. The matter ultimately settled, but we successfully defended a motion for summary trial seeking to dismiss the action for lack of standing in the Court of Appeal, with leave to appeal denied by the Supreme Court of Canada.
  • Clients in a number of matters, either sending or responding to cease and desist letters relating to alleged infringement of copyright. Most of these have been resolved without going to court.
  • A Canadian municipality, where an application was launched against the city for allegedly infringing copyright in a photo. The matter settled.
