Abstract

The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) is a bilateral deal between the European Union and Canada that covers many fields including intellectual property. This paper analyses some of the major changes in patent and trademark law, which the Canadian legislator and government had to implement in order to comply with CETA. The first part of this paper concentrates on the protection and enforcement of pharmaceutical patents in Canada whereas the second part covers the country’s compliance with international trademark treaties and the protection of geographical indications.
