Canadian Patent Office gives patent to the first inventor to file an application. Even if you can prove that you were the first to conceive of the invention, you can’t claim the patent if a competing inventor files at Canadian Patent Office first.
Preparing a Canadian Patent Office application
Application in Canadian Patent office consists of an abstract, a specification and often drawings. The abstract submitted to Canadian Patent Office is a brief summary of the contents of the specification. The specification of Canadian Patent Office includes:
1. a clear and complete description of the invention and its usefulness;
2. claims which define the boundaries of patent protection.
