Canadian government’s IP strategy seeks to boost innovation, increase IP literacy, and rein-in patent trolls
The intellectual property (IP) strategy, unveiled by the Government of Canada recently, aims to boost Canadian innovation and presence in the global technological market by enhancing IP awareness and savviness, introducing IP education and advice programs, offering strategic IP tools for growth, and implementing legislative amendments.
