On August 4, 2020, in TFI Foods Ltd v Every Green International Inc., 2020 FC 808, the Federal Court (the “Court”) issued an order enjoining Every Green International Inc. (“Every Green”) from offering for sale, selling, and/or labelling products bearing the trademark I-MEI Design with labels identifying Every Green as the exclusive distributor of I-MEI Foods Co, Ltd. Every Green did not comply with this order and took no further steps in its defense of the action.

Spectrum opposed Schneider’s application to register WISER. The Registrar allowed, in part, Spectrum’s opposition. Under the Trademarks Act, Spectrum and Schneider each had two months from the date of the Registrar’s decision to file an appeal.

The Plaintiff launched an action under the Trademarks Act and Copyright Act, alleging that various corporate and individual Defendants infringed the Plaintiff’s rights by engaging in licensing agreements of the Plaintiff’s trademarks without the Plaintiff’s authority.

In two patent infringement actions under subsection 6(1) of the PM (NOC) Regulations, [the Regulations], the Federal Court found the claims of the ‘437 Patent invalid for obviousness and dismissed the action for infringement against the ‘802 Patent, finding the patent valid, not obvious, and useful (29, 32).

The Defendant brought its motion before any examinations for discovery (6).
