Flipping through The Lawyers Weekly today, which as a bit of an aside seemed to me to have a slightly spiffier look, several new Canadian regulatory and IP law texts caught my eye:
Canadian Food and Drug Legislation & Commentary (2012) (LexisNexis)
“Canada’s leading compilation of federal food and drug laws. Food and drug legislation is a critical part of Canada’s national regulatory framework. Consumers of foods, drugs, medical devices, and cosmetics look to this system to ensure that regulated products meet all health and safety standards. Thousands of professionals have a responsibility to interpret and apply the statutes and regulations in this extremely complex area of law. Canadian Food and Drug Legislation meets the research and reference needs of this growing group. This unique compilation includes the most up-to-date Food and Drugs Act and all related federal statutes and regulations. A detailed index further simplifies your research. The commentary, prepared by Borden Ladner Gervais LLP, which has one of Canada’s largest food and drugs practices, explains the legal framework and recent developments, and gives an overview of each part and division of the key legislation as follows: Food and Drugs Act and all regulations under the Act; Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act and Regulations; Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and Regulations; Canada Agricultural Products Act and Regulations.”
Halsbury’s Laws of Canada – Patents, Trade Secrets and Industrial Designs (2012) (LexisNexis)
“In the age of information, the ability to protect a client’s rights in intellectual property can be as important as the creation of that property itself. Like a right without a remedy, a proprietary asset without legal recognition may be no asset at all. So, while patent applications or industrial design issues may be best left to intellectual property specialists, a sound appreciation of the law and the issues shouldn’t be. Newly revised and thoroughly updated, Halsbury’s Laws of Canada – Patents, Trade Secrets and Industrial Designs (2012 Reissue) is the ideal source for authoritative commentary on this always important subject. Authored by two of Canada’s leading intellectual property experts, it clearly delineates the law governing patents of invention in Canada, as codified by the Patent Act, as well as the law pertaining to trade secrets and industrial design.”
