  • 1. Innovation in focus: Exploring trends in the development of advanced technology through patent applications
    Articles and reports: 22-20-00012024002
    Description: This article explores trends in patent applications made by Canadian-resident businesses for advanced technologies from 2001 to 2019, drawing on Eurostat's aggregation of high-tech patents. Approximately one-third of applications fall under high-tech categories, the bulk of which were associated with Communication, Computer, and Automated business equipment technologies. While these fields saw growth until 2012, a subsequent decline occurred, notably in Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing. Biotechnology, Semiconductors, and Lasers showed limited dynamism, while aviation technology applications surged by nearly twentyfold over the period.

  • 5. 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.
