Canadian universities and affiliated research hospitals have made great strides in commercializing inventions. Since 1998 Statistics Canada has conducted the Survey of Intellectual Property Commercialization in the Higher Education Sector to track progress in this area.

Description:

Data from the Research and Development in Canadian Industry Survey reveal that between 1994 and 2002 - 31,190 enterprises undertook research and development (R&D) activities for at least one year. However, only 5% (1,699) can be considered persistent R&D performers, appearing on the R&D in Canadian Industry database for nine years. It appears that the size of the R&D expenditure groups that firms belong to influences their level of persistence in R&D performance. This article investigates that premise.

Statistics Canada publishes information on industrial research and development (R&D) performers that includes the number of such firms and their total R&D expenditures.
