Anticipation Post October 1989 • S. 27 (2) provides that: • The subject-matter defined by a claim in an application for a patent in Canada (the "pending application") must not have been disclosed • (a) more than one year before the filing date by the applicant, or by a person who obtained knowledge, directly or indirectly, from the applicant, in such a manner that the subject-matter became available to the public in Canada or elsewhere; However, the general rule of thumb is to allocate at least 1-2 minutes per slide, which suggests 10-20 slides for a 20-minute presentation.

For a prior sale or use to anticipate an invention, it must amount to "enabling disclosure". • 3. The prior sale or use of a chemical product will constitute enabling disclosure to the public if its composition can be discovered through analysis of the product. • 4. The analysis must be able to be performed by a person skilled in the art in accordance with known analytical techniques available at the relevant time and without the exercise of inventive skill. • 5. When reverse engineering is capable of discovering the invention, it becomes available to the public if a product containing the invention is sold to any one member of the public who is free to use it as she or he pleases. • 6. It is not necessary to demonstrate that a member of the public actually analyzed the product sold.Gibney v. Ford Motors • In Gibney, as soon as the unidentified customer drove out without any injunction or restriction placed upon him, the invention then became available to anyone who wanted to lift up the hood of the car and look at it. • In Birtwhistle v. Sumner Engineering Co. Ltd. (1928), 46 R.P.C. 59 at p. 71, one unit only of a timing device for book-makers was not even sold but merely carried around by a book-maker when he went on his rounds for the purpose of trying it out and yet this was held to be prior public use. The Nature of Anticipation • The test of anticipation does not necessarily deny that there may have been an invention, rather, it asserts that the idea expressed in the invention was already disclosed to persons skilled in that art (Beloit case). It is immaterial that the inventor was in fact unaware that the invention had been described elsewhere. Castoro is a serif font that works well for body text in presentations. If you’re looking for an alternative to Times New Roman but still want to appear professional, this could be the one for you. In this version, the font features diacritics and extra characters for many European languages. The starts and ends of characters in upper- and lower-case end with both sharp and softly rounded points, giving the impression of balance.

Practice and Test: Review and rehearse your presentation to ensure a smooth delivery. Test your presentation on the actual equipment or platform you'll be using to ensure compatibility and optimal display. Anticipation • Thus, an invention is said to have been anticipated if prior to the filing of the application, another patent, document and/or reliable oral information had previously described, embodied or put in public use the alleged invention. • See Pfizer v. Apotex While there's no one-size-fits-all rule for making presentation slides, you can group them into three main categories: Introduction and Closing SlidesMake it interactive: Include animation and interactivity to add flair to your presentation. It can make your presentation powerful and memorable. Q. How do you make a presentation slide? Gibney v. Ford Motors • Ptf instituted action for infringement of a patent relating to a protector for a generator. Ptf put a protective makeshift cover on the generator of an unidentified customer. • No precautions as to secrecy or confidence were taken in respect of such use. The dft argued, and the court agreed that the subject matter of the patent had been used in public in Canada for more than 2 years b/4 the application for patent was filed. Verbal Disclosure • The law on anticipation is that the prior art on the subject of the application must not have been publicly available prior to the invention. The tenor of the old legislation seemed to limit relevant prior art to “patents and printed publications”. • Hence, the issue arises as to whether an affidavit evidence or oral disclosure on the existence of an embodiment of the alleged invention are admissible in assessing novelty.

Consistent structure: Use consistent formatting, such as font styles, colors, and alignment, throughout the presentation.

Canwell, cont’d • The appellants contended that chemical analysis of W-3053 would have led a person skilled in the art to the invention. The respondents argued that such reverse engineering would not meet the stringent test for anticipation set out in Beloit Canada Ltd. v. Valmet OY in that it would not lead to the claimed invention in every case and without the possibility of error. • In holding the patent to be valid and infringed, the trial judge found the evidence of chemical analysis to be unsatisfactory and that the defendants had not discharged the burden of proving anticipation. • The defendants appealed. In reversing the lower court, the CA held that:Canwell, cont’d • “The principles in Beloit v. Valmet and Free World v. Electro Sante relating to anticipation by prior publication are also applicable to anticipation by prior use or sale, but may need to be tailored to fit the particular circumstances of prior use or sale.” • The principle on clear and unmistakable prior publication capable of directing a skilled person reading it without error to the invention claimed, applies to the specific context of a publication that a person would read… In the case of prior use or sale, reading may not be relevant. For the purpose of analyzing anticipation in the context of disclosure by prior sale or use, the following principles, which supplement, but do not alter the principles set out in Beloit v. Valmet and Free World Trust, apply: • 1. Sale to the public or use by the public alone is insufficient to prove anticipation. Disclosure of the invention is required to constitute anticipation under s. 28.2(1)(a). The Criterion of Novelty • The colloquial or pedestrian concept of novelty differs from that understood and applied in patent law. • In patent law, the test of novelty is technical, requiring the satisfaction of certain judicial standards and statutory criteria. • Where an alleged invention is already taught by information known to or available to persons skilled in the relevant art, such invention is said to have bee “anticipated”.

Content Slide: These are dense with information. They're best when broken down into bullet points for readability. Engage from the start: Start your presentation with a compelling story, anecdote or a surprising fact. This will grab the audience's attention and spark curiosity.

Methods of Anticipation • An alleged invention may fail the test of novelty on the following grounds: • 1. anticipation by verbal disclosure or description; • 2. anticipation by public show or exhibition; • 3. anticipation by the existence of a prior patent or publication.
