This is a directory of Canadian US patents holders. It has the latest information about who has US patents in Canada, where the US patent holders are, what they patented in the US market and the trends of their US patents. In 2009, when I was working for the Region of Peel government, Canada, I successfully used patent mapping to identify 20 US patent intensive companies as the potential employers for highly educated immigrants. Following this initiative, I created a Canadian patent competitive intelligence (CI) database to track the latest patent competence of over 5000 Canadian entities, in all sector throughout Canada, on a weekly basis. My work with Region of Peel from 2010 to 2012 showed that this database can provide the "no-older-than-7-day" intelligence for long-term strategic research/planning and short-term tactics. This is also the first attempt in Canada to use patent landscape as a regional economic strength indicator and a baseline for policy harmonization and policy performance evaluation.

Directory of Canadian US Patent Holders -
The latest Competitive Intelligence (CI) and
intellectual Ecosystem of Canada

4. • The charges for the use of IP accounted for
only 0.68% of Canadian export, but caused
$7.1 billions of foreign trade deficit, about
19.6% of the total foreign trade deficit ($36
billions);
• Knowledge-based is not good enough;
• IP is the key factor to the added value in
global value chains;
• Patent CI can help to improve the added
value of export.

of the US Trade with
Canada in Royalties and License Fees

• Canada is the third largest US Royalties and License
Fees export country (Ireland, Japan, Canada, UK
Switzerland) ;
• But Canada is not among the top five largest US
Royalties and License Fees import countries (Japan,
Switzerland, UK, Germany, France);
• The US has US$84.3 billions surplus in foreign trade
cash flow from Royalties & License fees;

trade deficit (CAD$36 billions).

10. Database of Canadian US Patent Holders
and Competitive Intelligence (CI)
• Synchronized with USPTO patent database to
provide “no-older-than-7-day” information about
Canada’s patent competitive advantage in the US
market;
• Until March 24, 2015, there are 5443 Canadian US
patents owners (2456 of them are in Ontario)
tracked by this database;
• This database tracks information about who they
are, where they are, what they patented and if they
are getting stronger or weaker;
• Provided synergy on economic related issues.

11. Canadian Patent Landscape
in the US Market
• Ontario is the largest US patent hub province;
Kitchener-Cambridge-Waterloo CMA, Ottawa-
Gatineau CMA, Saskatoon, Drummondville and
Markham are the top US patent hosting
geographical areas in Canada respectively
(normalized by population).
