32. Protecting Your Ideas

33. Patent
A government grant giving the right to exclude others from making, using or selling an invention. A Canadian patent applies within Canada for 20 years from the date of filing of a patent application. The patent application is available to the public 18 months after filing.

35. Summary of steps to obtain a patent in Canada
Find a patent agent.
Do a preliminary search. (If there's an existing patent, consider ending the process now.)
Help your agent prepare a patent application.
File your application.
Request examination.
Examiner does search for prior patents and studies claims.
Examiner either approves or objects to the claims.
Respond to examiner's objections and requirements.
Examiner reconsiders and either approves or calls for further amendments.
If final decision is objected to, you may appeal.

36. Fees There are three kinds of fees you must pay to obtain a patent:
filing fees, $2,500
examination fees and $1,000
grant of patent fees $150-$700
Yearly maintenance fees are required to maintain an application or a patent in force.

37. Patent infringement would occur if someone made, used or sold your patented “door lock” without your permission in a country that has granted you a patent, during the term of the patent. If you believe your patent is infringed, you may sue for damages in the appropriate court.

38. Protection before grant
Protection before grant When you obtain a patent in Canada, you will be able to sue infringers for all damages sustained after the grant of your patent. Also after grant, you may sue for reasonable compensation for infringements that occurred in Canada from the date your application was made available for public inspection (18 months after filing) to the date of grant.

39. Trade secrets You may be tempted to protect your creation by simply keeping its information secret and selling it to a willing buyer. The information is then known as a trade secret.

40. Patent marking and "patent pending"
The Patent Act does not require that patents be marked as "Patented." However, marking an article as patented in Canada when it isn't is against the law.
You may wish to mark your invention "Patent Applied For" or "Patent Pending" after you have filed your application. These phrases have no legal effect but may serve as warnings to others that you'll be able to enforce the exclusive right to manufacture the invention once a patent is granted.

41. Copyrights
Provide protection for literary, artistic, dramatic or musical works
e.g., books, maps, song lyrics, music, sculptures, paintings, photographs, films, tapes, computer programs, databases, performances, sound recordings, communication signals
author has the right to have his/her work copyrighted
unless they were hired or employed to create it
cannot publish, perform, translate, adapt without permission
upon death, heirs hold copyright for 50 years

43. Trademarks
A word, symbol or design (or a combination of these), used to distinguish the wares and services of one person or organization from those of others in the marketplace.
Ordinary marks - logo
Certification marks - ISO 9000, TM, CSA
Distinguishing guises - unique packaging or shape
