For Canadian small and medium enterprises (SMEs), considering when, why or how to patent your innovations can be intimidating.

Where do you begin?

To assist you in the patent application process, Gowling WLG has prepared a Patent Toolkit, a step-by-step guide for Canadian SMEs on how to protect your inventions.

This downloadable resource was designed to help Canadian SMEs understand the patent process, answer some of the questions our intellectual property (IP) professionals are commonly asked, and give you the information you need to ensure that the first meeting with your patent professional can be efficient and productive.

If you have questions about the Patent Toolkit, please contact a member of our patents team.
