Additional information
The Intellectual Property Awareness and Use survey (IPAU) was carried out by Statistics Canada in collaboration with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada and the Canadian Intellectual Property Office. The first of its kind to look at intellectual property (IP) in Canada, this survey will help to better understand how Canadian businesses use IP for economic purposes.
The strategic use of IP is critical to the innovation and economic growth of Canadian enterprises. As a result, this survey was created to establish a baseline on familiarity with and use of IP by Canadian businesses.
This survey is also part of the national Intellectual Property Strategy, which was designed to improve access to the IP system for all Canadians, including traditionally underrepresented groups, such as women and Indigenous peoples.
Businesses in Canada can own IP domestically and internationally. International IP protection is accorded through a registration process in the country of interest.
Data are available by enterprise size; by sector, according to the North American Industry Classification System; and by economic region, according to the Standard Geographical Classification, for the reference period from 2017 to 2019.
Atlantic region includes Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
Rest of Canada includes Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut
