Effective May 13, 2025, the USPTO’s expected timeframe between issue notification and issue date will be approximately two weeks (instead of approximately three weeks)
Over the course of 2019 and first half of 2020, there have been a number of significant developments in Canadian law relating to Indigenous people and their rights and interests in lands.
This publication summarizes a number of key decisions dealing with:
- the evolving case law on the duty to consult on projects and decision-making;
- granting or dismissing injunctions in the context of project development and blockades;
- procedural issues affecting ongoing litigation in this area; and
- section 35 rights treaty and Aboriginal rights.
For more information on any of these cases or other Indigenous law issues, please contact any member of Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP’s Indigenous law team.
