Patent application
17. (6) An application under this Act for a patent for an invention may not be refused, nor is any patent granted therefor invalid, by reason only that an act performed in connection with the invention to which the patent relates is prohibited by law, unless that act is one that is likely to provoke a breach of the peace.
