The Canadian Government grants the right to exclude others from making, using or selling an invention. This is the grant of a Patent through Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO). A Canadian patent is valid within Canada for 20 years from the date of filing of a patent application. The patent application becomes public 18 months after filing. Patents cover new inventions or any new and useful improvement to an existing invention.
