What is the standard of review for a patent application?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Debnath v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2010 FC 904 (CanLII):
The standard of review for this type of decision is well settled since Dunsmuir v. New Brunswick, 2008 SCC 9. The Applicants analysis of patent unreasonableness and reasonableness simpliciter is not particularly useful. The decision is significantly fact driven in a field in which visa officers have experience, if not expertise. The standard of review, therefore, is reasonableness, and a high degree of deference to the factual findings of a visa officer is owed.
