Le gouvernement du Canada annonce un appel de candidatures en vue de créer un collectif en matière de propriété intellectuelle

Le programme pilote aidera les entreprises canadiennes à optimiser leurs droits de PI dans le but de prendre de l'expansion

Le 13 février 2019 — Ottawa (Ontario)

Lorsque les entreprises canadiennes mettent la propriété intellectuelle (PI) au cœur de leur stratégie d'affaires, elles sont mieux placées pour croître et réussir. C'est pourquoi le gouvernement du Canada veut s'assurer que les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) ont les outils et le soutien nécessaires pour prendre de l'expansion et devenir plus concurrentielles.

Le ministre de l'Innovation, des Sciences et du Développement économique, l'honorable Navdeep Bains, a lancé aujourd'hui le Programme pilote sur le collectif de brevets pour aider les PME à obtenir les brevets qu'il leur faut, et les appuyer dans tous leurs autres besoins en matière de PI. Les entités canadiennes capables de former une équipe spécialisée dans la prestation de conseils de grande qualité en matière de brevets sont invitées à soumettre leur candidature. L'entité retenue recevra un financement de 30 millions de dollars sur quatre ans afin de créer un organisme sans but lucratif qui aidera les entreprises d'un secteur donné à utiliser plus stratégiquement leur PI.

Le programme pilote, qui s'inscrit dans la Stratégie en matière de propriété intellectuelle — une initiative s'étendant sur cinq ans —, permettra au gouvernement d'obtenir des données précieuses quant aux problèmes rencontrés par les PME en matière de PI. Le nouveau collectif pourra déterminer de quelle manière le programme soutiendra les entreprises qui auront recours à ses services, personnaliser ses services en fonction des besoins de ses clients et déterminer comment mieux soutenir l'utilisation stratégique de la PI au sein des entreprises en pleine croissance.

Faits en bref

  • La création de la Stratégie en matière de propriété intellectuelle a été annoncée dans le budget de 2018.

  • Les entités qui souhaitent présenter leur candidature peuvent consulter le site Canada.ca/collectif-de-brevets.

  • Les petites et moyennes entreprises qui sont titulaires de droits de PI sont trois fois plus susceptibles de participer au développement de produits innovants que celles qui n'en détiennent pas. Elles sont également deux fois plus susceptibles de participer à d'autres types d'innovation, quatre fois plus susceptibles d'exporter, et 64 % plus susceptibles d'être une entreprise à forte croissance.

  • Les entreprises à forte intensité de PI offrent des salaires en moyenne 16 % plus élevés que celles qui en détiennent peu ou pas du tout.

    Sea King disposal underway

    by Lisa Gordon The 55-year reign of the Canadian Sea King is coming to a close. In December, a crew from 443 Maritime Helicopter Squadron in Patricia Bay, B.C., will fly the CH-124 Sea King on its last flight for the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). Earlier this year, their counterparts at 423 Maritime Helicopter Squadron in Shearwater, N.S., marked the aircraft's final East Coast mission on Jan. 26, 2018. While five helicopters are still operational until the end of the year in B.C., Canada's remaining 23 Sea Kings have been retired and are currently making their way through the fleet disposal process. Administered by the Department of National Defence (DND) and Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), this process aims to repurpose, sell or otherwise dispose of the old helicopters in a safe and environmentally responsible manner. While final arrangements for the aircraft are subject to change, DND told Skies on Oct. 2 that eight of the 28 remaining aircraft will be publicly displayed by the Canadian Armed Forces at various military bases and museums across the country. Another airframe will be retained by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) as a training aid, and one will be displayed at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa. Three aircraft were demilitarized and scrapped due to their poor condition, with components being recycled where possible. The remaining 15 Sea Kings and their associated parts — 12 are currently located at 12 Wing Shearwater and three are at Patricia Bay — are now for sale, a process that is being administered by PSPC. “Essentially, we have a website that is used to source interest for controlled and sensitive assets that are for sale,” explained Josée Doucet, manager of the GCMil group at PSPC, which deals with the disposal of surplus Canadian military goods. “In this case, we put the Sea Kings up for sale. Once we had expressions of interest, we held a bidders' conference on Sept. 26 in Shearwater, to showcase those aircraft. It gave bidders the chance to look at them, ask questions regarding the assets, and gave them an idea of what they are bidding on.” The helicopters are being sold in “as is, where is” condition. Doucet said she was very pleased by the number of potential bidders who attended the Shearwater event. “Now, the interested parties will receive a package from my office and be invited to submit a bid. There will be a timeline as to when we will start reviewing offers.” While Doucet said that timeline has not yet been finalized with DND, she indicated the goal would be to have a purchase agreement in place by the time the Sea Kings cease flying on Dec. 31. “It's a very aggressive timeline, so the offer to purchase dates will respect that.” Preparing for Sale Before the Sea Kings went on the market, controlled goods and military equipment were removed from the airframes wherever possible. Doucet said all Canadian bidders must be registered in the Controlled Goods Program. Interested foreign purchasers must be enrolled in their nation's equivalent program, which allows them to view military assets. “We have a number of processes. We only deal with registered Canadian companies, pre-approved foreign governments or authorized representatives of original equipment manufacturers. Only then would they be allowed to bid.” While Doucet declined to estimate the Sea Kings' worth, she said a myriad of factors are considered when selecting the winning bid. These include single-asset or full-lot bids, depreciation, condition of the fleet, and the costs to DND to maintain the helicopters as they await sale. “We also look to see if a bidder has an approved clear end use for the helicopters. What is the likelihood of obtaining export approval, as well as third-party approval from the country of acquisition — in this case the United States. We look at all that, because we don't want to exert efforts in an area that would not be fruitful.” Ultimately, she said fleet value will be driven by market demand. “I would have to say that from a commercial application perspective, the Sea King fleet has a lot of life left in it. Whether the fleet will be used as a gap measure, or to refurbish and resell, or to convert to commercial applications, the value will be subject to its intended end use.” A Lasting Legacy Canada accepted its first CH-124 Sea King at the Sikorsky plant in Connecticut on May 24, 1963. Since then, the maritime helicopter has earned its legendary status in the Canadian Armed Forces, serving with distinction on Her Majesty's Canadian Ship Bonaventure (the country's last aircraft carrier, retired in 1970), as well as on St. Laurent-class destroyer escorts, Iroquois-class destroyers, auxiliary oiler replenishment ships, and Halifax-class frigates. No other aircraft in Canadian service has ever commanded such a lasting multi-generational legacy. While 15 Sea Kings are destined for new homes, nine will remain on public display to ensure its story will never be forgotten. It's a fitting tribute to a King that ruled the waves for more than half a century. https://www.skiesmag.com/news/sea-king-disposal-underway
