    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    In Canada, innovative biotechnology firms invest large amounts to develop new biotechnology products and processes. In 2003, they invested nearly $1.5 billion in research and development (R&D). In biotechnology, the development process is long and costly, with no guarantee of success. Some firms that discover a new biotechnology product or process with potential industrial applications may want to protect it against any infringement. The patent is a tool preferred by innovative biotechnology firms to protect their invention. This short article describes the patenting activities of biotechnology firms in 2003 and examines the relationship between patents and funding.

    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    In a recent study using data from the Canadian Survey of Innovation 1999, the authors examined the effect of R&D tax credits on innovation activities of Canadian manufacturing firms. They found positive effects on the propensity of firms to perform R&D activities such the introduction to the market of a new product or process that was a world first. However, there is no significant effect on more general firm performance indicators such as profitability, domestic market share or international market share.

    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Statistics Canada has been working with NRC-IRAP on a series of projects to better understand the characteristics of growth firms. The first phase of the study concluded that one needed to take into account a company's stage in its lifecycle, its industry and even the "management style" to better understand how these growth factors applied.

    Description:

    Does innovation thrive best in industry clusters? That is, is a company more likely to be innovative if it is located close to many of its rivals? And what role does research at a local university play on industrial innovation? A recent study based on data from a Statistics Canada innovation survey, finds that firms located near their rivals or universities are no more innovative than other firms in the same industry are, except at extremely short distances.

    Description:

    The Survey of Innovation 2003 surveyed establishments in 36 services industries with a view to better understand innovation in the service sector. The services industries surveyed included information and communications technology industries (ICT); selected professional, scientific and technical services, selected natural resources industries and selected transportation industries. Results from the Survey of Innovation 2003, which examined innovation in selected service industries, show that establishments in ICT service industries are most likely to be innovative. In Canada, the three industries with the highest rates of innovation were all ICT industries.

    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    While Statistics Canada has been measuring certain aspects of commercialization for a long time, the current usage of the word is challenging the statistical system. Universities and federal labs sometimes commercialize their technologies and we measure their license revenues and spin-off firms. In the private sector, commercialization is called "survival". How do we provide a framework and indicators of "everything"?
