Appeal Court Upholds I-MED Pharma’s Patent Win Against TearLab


The Canadian Federal Court of Appeal confirmed that TearLab’s efforts to keep the I-PEN® Osmolarity System, marketed by I-MED Pharma, off the market are without merit. According to I-MED Pharma Inc., a Canadian company specializing in dry eye diagnosis and management, the Court of Appeal dismissed TearLab’s appeal of a 2018 judgment of the Federal Court and agreed that TearLab’s Canadian Patent 2,494,540 is invalid.

In February 2016, TearLab brought a suit alleging that the I-PEN® Osmolarity System, sold in Canada by I-MED Pharma, infringed its patent.

Two years after, the Court found in I-MED Pharma’s favour, invalidating all claims of the patent that TearLab relied upon to block the sale of the I-PEN®Osmolarity System in Canada.

On June 13, 2019, the Federal Court of Appeal unanimously rejected TearLab’s appeal of the Federal Court judgment, with costs awarded to I-MED Pharma.

Essilor of America: #DifferenceMakers Go on a Volunteer Mission

As part of the #DifferenceMakers campaign, Essilor of America employees and clients traveled to Southeast Asia last March to meet Essilor teams in Singapore and conduct two days of vision screening.

Launched last November, the #DifferenceMakers campaign supports Essilor’s mission of improving lives by improving sight, in order to eradicate poor vision by 2050. Over 1,100 Essilor of America employees participated in the project. They logged more than 1,400 volunteer hours and donated over $22,000 to vision charities in a mere two-month span.

During this campaign, Essilor of America employees were able to earn points on each activity. The three employees with the highest points won the contest and took part in the volunteering mission accompanied by 32 eye care professionals. With the help of local Essilor teams, they provided visual screening tests to 2,000 children in Bangkok, Thailand.

Watch the video below for an overview of their Southeast Asian trip:
