Government of Canada announces call to launch intellectual property collective
Pilot project will help Canadian companies reap the full benefits of IP to grow their business
February 13, 2019 – Ottawa, Ontario
When Canadian companies put intellectual property (IP) at the core of their business strategy, they are better positioned to grow and succeed. This is why the Government of Canada is making sure that our small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) have the tools and supports they need to expand their business and become more competitive.
Today, the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development, launched the Patent Collective pilot program to assist SMEs with their patent and other IP needs. Canadian entities that can gather a team with experience in delivering high-quality patent advice are invited to apply. The chosen applicant will receive $30 million in funding over four years to create a non-profit organization that will work with companies in a selected sector to help them use their IP more strategically.
Announced as part of the five-year Intellectual Property Strategy, the pilot project will provide the Government with valuable insight into the IP issues faced by SMEs. The new collective will have an opportunity to shape how the program will support member businesses, customize services to suit clients' needs, and identify how best to support the strategic use of IP in scaling companies.

CJOC PA Monthly Narrative
{Sent on behalf of Lieutenant-Colonel Stéphanie Godin, Chief Public Affairs Officer, CJOC} We have published the September 2018 CJOC PA Monthly Narrative. It is designed to inform all those who play a part in explaining the Canadian Armed Forces engagements in Canada, on the continent and around the world. This product is shared with DND/CAF colleagues and with our whole-of-government partners. It is updated and distributed on a monthly basis unless otherwise directed. New this month: On August 2, 2018, a small team of soldiers from the Canadian Army's 4 Engineer Support Regiment deployed to Iraq on Operation IMPACT. About 300 CAF members participated in a maritime domain defence and security exercise on Operation NANOOK from August 8, 2018 to September 4, 2018. The Government of Canada accepted the province of British Columbia's request for assistance with wildfire response on August 13, 2018. On September 7, 2018, the Province of B.C. announced that the wildfire situation improved and that the requirement for CAF assistance had diminished. Most CAF assets and members deployed on Operation LENTUS started to leave the province and return to their respective home units. About 100 personnel are still assisting with the operation. On August 15, 2018, Operation PRESENCE-Mali reached full operational capability, meaning personnel and equipment are prepared to conduct secondary tasks if the United Nations request them such as: the transportation of troops, equipment and supplies, and logistics support. About 135 personnel and five CF-18 Hornets deployed to Constanta, Romania on Operation REASSURANCE to participate in NATO enhanced Air Policing from September to December 2018. A CC-177 Globemaster aircraft conducted an airlift flight on Operation FREQUENCE between the Sahel region of Africa and France. About 29,000 kilograms of cargo were delivered to France.
