How to get patent in Canada?

  Introduction In 2024, a U.S.-based biotech company came within inches of a catastrophic $12 million patent infringement lawsuit. The trigger? A breakthrough therapeutic molecule that overlapped—unbeknownst to them—with an existing protected claim. But a last-minute Freedom-to-Operate (FTO) search  exposed the legal minefield just in time. FTO searches are the unsung heroes of innovation—systematic investigations that reveal whether a product or process infringes on any existing patents. In a landscape as litigious as biotech, the real question isn’t “Can we build this?”  but “Can we bring it to market legally?” Let’s explore how an FTO search turned a looming disaster into a competitive advantage—and why biotech innovators in India and Canada  should take note. #patentoffice #patentapplication #patent #patentlawyer #patentsearch #intellectualproperty #patentpending #uspto #illustration #patentportfolio #patentdrawings #pct #patentdrafting #pctfiling #patentabilit...

  The patent landscape is a battlefield of ideas, where only the well-prepared survive. Yet, a staggering 68% of global patent applications are rejected  at the examination stage. For startups, R&D departments, and legal professionals alike, this is more than a statistic—it’s a warning sign. Despite groundbreaking innovations, thousands of ideas fail to secure protection due to technical oversights and strategic gaps in the patenting process. This failure rate is not just a loss of IP rights—it translates into lost investments, competitive disadvantage, and missed licensing opportunities. But what if this failure rate could be dramatically reduced? The key lies in the often overlooked, invisible work  that happens long before an application is even filed. FOR MORE UPDATES, CLICK HERE.
