Canadian patent law also provides an accounting of profits made by the defendant infringer as a remedy.Teledyne Industries Inc. v. Lido Industrial Products Ltd., [1982] FCJ No 1024 (Federal Court). An accounting of profits is an equitable remedy entirely based on the idea that the defendant did not have the right to benefit from the property of the plaintiff patent holder. While considerations such as intent may have a role in damage awards, they do not in an accounting of profits.
