Broken Promises: Utility Standards and Patent Applications in Canada The last day of June 2017 saw the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) quash the controversial Promise Doctrine. The issue at hand in AstraZeneca Canada Inc v Apotex Inc was whether the Promise Doctrine should be held as the correct standard of utility under the Patent Act. The SCC’s ruling finds the Promise Doctrine unsound due to its inconsistency with the language and form of the Patent Act as well as the high burden it places on patent applicants.
