Foreign patenting by Canadians

Abstract

This study is directed at foreign patenting by Canadians, using comparative data on the foreign filling patterns of other major industrialized countries. It is divided into two parts. The first describes the foreign patenting process. The second sets forth the data on comparative foreign filings by Canadians. Reported foreign patent filings for Canadian originating inventions are small in absolute terms and low on the per capita basis when compared with other countries. The reported foreign filing activities may understate such figures by 15-25% by reason of the tendency of rights in Canadian originating inventions to be transferred to foreign corporations. Apart from statistical purposes, this phenomenon may raise policy questions concerning the loss to foreign entities of world rights in inventions originating in Canada.
