Patents protect the stuff of progress, whether little or great, simple improvement or pioneering technology; the ingenuity that powers humankind's quest for fuller and better lives.

"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."

Goethe (1749-1832)

For a client who has already made the decision to prepare and file a patent application in its originating country, filing a corresponding patent application in Canada offers a tremendous value for a small incremental cost.

Trade Secrets, know-how and confidential information constitute potentially very important tools for business enterprises.
