113 The Minister shall issue, to the patentee, a certificate of supplementary protection for the patented invention set out in the patentee’s application if, on the day of issuance,
(a) the Minister is satisfied that all requirements set out in section 106 are met;
(b) the applicable period referred to in subsection 106(3) for filing the application has ended;
(c) there is no other pending application that sets out the same authorization for sale and that has priority over, or the same priority as, the application; and
(d) any court proceedings, brought under section 110 with respect to the application or to another pending application that sets out the same authorization for sale and that has priority over, or the same priority as, the application, have been finally disposed of.
Contents of certificate
114 A certificate of supplementary protection shall set out
(a) the number, as recorded in the Patent Office, of the patent set out in the application;
(b) the medicinal ingredient or combination of medicinal ingredients set out in the application;
(c) a statement as to whether the certificate relates to use in humans or to veterinary use;
(d) the number of the authorization for sale set out in the application; and
(e) the day on which the certificate’s term begins and the day on which the term ends, as determined under section 116.
Scope of supplementary protection
115 (1) The issuance of a certificate of supplementary protection grants the certificate’s holder and their legal representatives, during the certificate’s term, the same rights, privileges and liberties that are granted by the patent set out in the certificate, but only with respect to the making, constructing, using and selling of any drug that contains the medicinal ingredient, or combination of medicinal ingredients, set out in the certificate, by itself or in addition to any other medicinal ingredient.
No infringement — export
(2) Despite subsection (1), it is not an infringement of the certificate of supplementary protection for any person to make, construct, use or sell the medicinal ingredient or combination of medicinal ingredients for the purpose of export from Canada.
Validity
116 (1) After the certificate is issued, it shall, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, be valid and avail the holder and the holder’s legal representatives for its term.
Taking effect
(2) A certificate of supplementary protection takes effect on the expiry of the term under section 44, without taking into account section 46, of the patent set out in the certificate, but the certificate takes effect only if the patent remains valid until, and not void before, the expiry of that term.
Calculation of term
(3) The certificate’s term is calculated by subtracting five years from the period beginning on the filing date of the application for the patent and ending on the day on which the authorization for sale set out in the certificate is issued, but in any event is for a maximum of two years.
Reduction in period
(4) Despite subsection (3), if the person to whom the authorization for sale set out in the certificate is issued is also the patentee, the Minister may, if he or she is of the opinion that that person’s failure to act resulted in a period of unjustified delay in the process of obtaining the authorization for sale, reduce the term of the certificate when issuing it by the amount of that period.
Never takes effect
(5) A certificate of supplementary protection that has been issued never takes effect if the calculation of its term, including any reduction under subsection (3), produces a result of zero or a negative value.
Revocation of certificate
117 The Minister shall revoke a certificate of supplementary protection in the prescribed circumstances.
Transfer
Transfer of patent
118 (1) A certificate of supplementary protection, or an application for one, is not transferable other than by the transfer of the patent, or part of the patent, that is set out in the certificate or application.
Whole of patent
(2) If the whole of the patent is transferred, the certificate or application is transferred accordingly.
Part of patent
(3) If part of the patent is transferred, any part of the certificate or application — including, as the case may be, the whole of it — that corresponds to the transferred part of the patent is transferred accordingly.
For greater certainty
(4) For greater certainty, the transfer of part of an application for a certificate of supplementary protection does not result in its division into more than one application.
Administrative Matters
Applications, fees and documents
119 Applications, fees and documents relating to certificates of supplementary protection shall be submitted to the Minister.
Inspection by public
120 (1) The Minister shall ensure that the prescribed contents of all certificates of supplementary protection and applications for a certificate are made available for public inspection under the conditions that may be prescribed.
Non-application
(2) Subsection (1) does not apply with respect to the contents of applications for a certificate that are refused, declared invalid or void, expired or withdrawn.
Copy in case of loss or destruction
121 The Minister may issue a certified copy of a certificate of supplementary protection to replace one that is lost or destroyed.
Issuance of patent under section 47
122 (1) If a patent set out in a certificate of supplementary protection or in a pending application for such a certificate is surrendered, and a new patent is issued, under section 47, the holder of the certificate or the applicant shall, before the end of the prescribed period that begins on the day on which the new patent is issued, provide the Minister with written notice of the number, as recorded in the Patent Office, of the new patent to which the certificate or application relates.
One patent
(2) If more than one new patent is issued under section 47, the holder of the certificate or the applicant shall provide the number for only one of the new patents.
New certificate
(3) If notice is provided under subsection (1) by a holder of a certificate, the Minister shall issue a new certificate of supplementary protection, setting out the new patent number, to replace the original certificate. The new certificate’s term is the then unexpired term of the original certificate.
Effect of new certificate
(4) The new certificate is deemed to have been issued on the day on which the new patent is issued. The original certificate and the new certificate have the same effect in law, in any action commenced after the issuance of the new certificate for any cause accruing after that issuance, as if the new patent had been set out in the original certificate; however, insofar as the claims of the new patent and the original patent are identical, the issuance of the new certificate does not affect any action pending at the time of the issuance of the new certificate or abate any cause of action that existed at that time and the new certificate constitutes a continuation of the original certificate and has effect accordingly.
Application
(5) If notice is provided under subsection (1) by an applicant for a pending application, the Minister shall
(a) amend the application to set out the new patent number; and
(b) provide written notice of the amendment to any other applicant referred to in section 109 with respect to the application.
Effect of amendment to application
(6) The amended application has the same effect, for the purposes of sections 106 to 113, as if the pending application had been originally filed in its amended form.

(3) For the purposes of sections 11.‍13 and 11.‍21, an indication identifying an agricultural product or food is confusing with a trade-mark if the use of both the indication and the trade-mark in the same area would be likely to lead to the inference that the agricultural product or food associated with the indication originates from the same source as the goods or services associated with the trade-mark.
What to be considered
(4) For the purposes of sections 11.‍13 and 11.‍21, in determining whether an indication is confusing with a trade-mark, the Registrar or the Federal Court, as the case may be, shall have regard to all the surrounding circumstances, including

(e) the quality, reputation or other characteristic of the wine or spirit or the agricultural product or food that, in the Minister’s opinion, qualifies that indication as a geographical indication;
(f) that, except in the case of an indication identifying a wine or spirit or an agricultural product or food as originating in Canada, the indication is protected by the law applicable to the territory in which the wine or spirit or the agricultural product or food is identified as originating, as well as particulars of the protection.
