Innovation in focus : exploring trends in the development of advanced technology through patent applications / by Dominique Gagnon.: CS222-00001/2024-2E-PDF

"This article explores trends in patent applications made by Canadian-resident businesses for advanced technologies from 2001 to 2019, drawing on Eurostat’s aggregation of high-tech patents. Approximately one-third of applications fall under high-tech categories, the bulk of which were associated with Communication, Computer, and Automated business equipment technologies. While these fields saw growth until 2012, a subsequent decline occurred, notably in Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing. Biotechnology, Semiconductors, and Lasers showed limited dynamism, while aviation technology applications surged by nearly twentyfold over the period. Examining innovation outputs based on the multinational status of applicants, we find Canadian Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) demonstrated superior intellectual property generation with 4 in 5 high-tech patent applications originating from Canadian-controlled entities"--Abstract, page 4.
