Sandisk asks Supreme Court of Canada to re-instate patent application
M-Systems Flash Disk Pioneers, owned by Sandisk, has filed an application with the Supreme Court of Canada seeking leave to appeal the Federal Court of Appeal decision (previously discussed on this blog). That decision confirmed that M-System’s patent application was dead due to the applicant failing to respond in full to an Examiner’s requisition.
The appeal on behalf of M-Systems was filed by Ron Dimock of Dimock Stratton. The case below was argued by Francois Grenier of Robic.
The case is M-Systems Flash Disk Pioneers Ltd. v. The Commissioner of Patents (Attorney General of Canada), SCC Docket #34275
Update: the Supreme Court of Canada denied with costs Sandisk’s leave to appeal. Having exhausted all appeals, the patent is now irretrievably dead.
