  • 15. The patenting activities of innovative biotechnology firms Archived
    Articles and reports: 88-003-X20050038769
    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.

  • 17. Trends in the technology intensity of Canadian exports: A comparison with other countries (III-G) Archived
    Stats in brief: 11F0024M20050008661
    Description:

    Canada has reached its innovation-driven stage of development where the country's global competitiveness is critically linked to its ability to rapidly shift to new innovative technologies and to generate high rates of innovation and commercialization of those technologies. The country has made significant progress in terms of the growth of high- and medium-high technology-intensive exports in the last few decades. The share of high- and medium-high-technology manufacturing industries' products in our total exports has increased from 32.1% in 1980 to 44% in 2002, while our dependence on low- and medium-low technology products has shrunk from 48.0% of total exports in 1980 to 41% in 2002. This paper utilizes Statistics Canada data for the period 1980-2003 to examine trends in the technology intensity of Canada's exports. Trends in the revealed comparative advantage as well as the structural trade balance for technology-intensive goods are also examined. The analyses in the paper show that Canada has made some gains in its relative competitive position in the world trade of high- and medium-high technology goods.
