- 8. Overall Picture © Muchiu (Henry) Chang 2011 Ontario is the largest patent hosting province (56% of the new patents issued to Canadian entities in 2010) Montreal is the largest patent hosting city in Canada Waterloo, dominated by Research in Motion (RIM) , is the largest innovation hub of Ontario, second to Montreal in Canada Halifax, Fredericton, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Calgary & Vancouver are the largest innovation hubs to Nova Scotia (NS), New Brunswick (NB), Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia (BC) respectively in 2010 RIM keeps continuous growth in US patents holding for the last 10 years
- 9. © Muchiu (Henry) Chang 2011 Aspects of GTA potential 22 employers GTA includes City of Toronto, Region of Durham, Halton, Peel and York, unless specified otherwise The potential 22 employers are ranked by the number of US patents they hold IT, auto and material processing are the top three sectors in patent holding. as in Figure 4 Toronto is strong in auto and medicine/bio IT strength is mainly in Mississauga Material processing is mainly in Caledon and Oakville

- 14. Conclusion © Muchiu (Henry) Chang 2011 Patent mapping analysis can disclose the real-time economic strength of an entity, such as a company, a city or a country At the present stage, we have identified the major Canadian players and their strength in the global market Our information is synchronized with USPTO patent database to provide the latest nationwide competitive intelligence weekly Our work can provide reference baseline for further sophisticated market surveys
- 15. © Muchiu (Henry) Chang 2011 Solely ranking a company by the number of granted patents may not be enough The name list may not be thorough Furt her i nvestigat ion of the quality of the patents will be needed to disclose the real niches and opportunities In addition to patent, there are IPR of copyright, trademark and trade secret More sophisticated research efforts will be needed to nurture new IPR Remarks
