IPIC was very pleased to see the Ontario government announce recently that the Ontario COVID-19 Rapid Research Fund would earmark a portion of the funds to cover costs associated with licensing and commercialization of innovations, including patenting of valuable intellectual property generated by successful applicants. IPIC would like to see all provincial governments and the federal government set aside a portion of all publicly funded subsidies and research grants in a similar manner to ensure our public investments in Canadian innovations are protected and commercialized by Canadian companies.
