The Medical Council of Canada was the dream of Sir Thomas Roddick, who pursued his vision of a national medical licensing standard within Canada, through legislation, for over 18 years. His persistence in passing a bill through Parliament known as the Canada Medical Act, followed by amendments that gave the provinces the power to grant licenses, resulted in the formation of the Medical Council of Canada in 1912. Since then, the Medical Council has been responsible for promoting a uniform standard of qualifiation to practice medicine for all physicians across Canada. The qualifitcation, known as the Licentiate of the Medical Council of Canada(LMCC), remains acceptable to provincial medical regulatory authorities. This ensures portability across the nation, while continuing to guarantee that each province and territory maintains the right to grant the license to practice medicine. 1, record 5, English, - The%20Medical%20Council%20of%20Canada

Le Conseil médical du Canada était le rêve de Sir Thomas Roddick, qui, pendant plus de dix-huit ans, s'est efforcé d'atteindre sa vision, soit une norme nationale de compétence en médecine, en faisant adopter une loi. Son insistance auprès du Parlement afin de faire adopter un projet de loi connu sous le nom de Loi médicale du Canada, lequel a par la suite fait l'objet d'amendements donnant aux provinces le pouvoir d'émettre des permis, a donné lieu à la constitution du Conseil médical du Canada en 1912. Depuis, le Conseil médical est chargé de promouvoir un degré uniforme de compétence permettant d'exercer la médecine, et ce, pour tous les médecins du Canada. Ce degré de compétence, connu sous le nom de «Licencié du Conseil médical du Canada» (LCMC), reçoit encore l'acceptation des ordres des médecins provinciaux. Il garantit la transférabilité dans tout le pays, tout en assurant le droit de chaque province et territoire d'émettre le permis d'exercice de la médecine. 1, record 5, French, - Le%20Conseil%20m%C3%A9dical%20du%20Canada

A nonexclusive license gives to a party the right to make and/or use and/or sell; however, the patent owner retains the right to practice the invention and to grant licences to any number of other parties. The nonexclusive license is merely an assurance that patent owner will not charge the licensee with infringement for any conduct that would otherwise be an infringement. If the patent owner does not sue others who are infringing the patent, the nonexclusive licensee has no right to enforce the patent against such infringers without the consent of the patent owner. 2, record 9, English, - non%2Dexclusive%20licence

En accordant une licence non exclusive, le breveté se réserve le droit d'accorder d'autres licences et d'exploiter lui-même l'invention. En pratique, la conclusion d'une telle licence non exclusive se produit le plus souvent lorsque le breveté réalise qu'il est plus avantageux pour lui d'accorder une telle licence à son concurrent que d'exploiter lui-même l'invention. Ordinairement, lors de la négociation d'un tel contrat, le licencié exige l'inclusion d'une clause dite la plus favorable par laquelle il est prévu que si le breveté accorde une licence plus avantageuse à un tiers, il aura alors droit de bénéficier des mêmes privilèges. 1, record 9, French, - licence%20non%20exclusive
