According to the Government of Canada’s own evaluation of its National IP Strategy, just 8% of small firms hold a formal IP strategy, compared with 42% of large organizations.

Same Defence, Better Facts: Federal Court Allows Amendments To Bolster Prior Use Allegation
The Federal Court in Kobold Corporation v NCS Multistage Inc. addressed whether a defendant could amend its pleadings to strengthen a prior use defence after losing a summary judgment motion on that same defence.
