Patenting activity of women-owned businesses in Canada / by Chahreddine Abbes, Amélie Lafrance-Cooke and Danny Leung. : CS36-28-0001/2023-2-3E-PDF

"This article examines the patenting activity of women-owned businesses and compares it with that of men- and equally owned businesses, and businesses where gender of ownership cannot be determined. It adds to the literature on the gender n gap in patenting - most of the focus has been on women as researchers or inventors, and not as business owners. From 2001 to 2019, men-owned businesses accounted for a larger share of patent applications than women- and equally owned businesses, and the gender gap did not narrow over the period. The most striking differences between the men- and women-owned businesses that patent were in the propensity to conduct research and development (R&D) and the amount spent on R&D. Men-owned businesses were 16.5 percentage points more likely to have conducted R&D, and, conditional on conducting R&D, spent 70% more. This could help explain why men-owned firms that patent have more applications per firm, and why they have a higher rate of granted applications"--Abstract, page 1.
