What are patents? What can they protect and what do I need to know if I’m thinking of protecting my invention in Canada?

In this live presentation, you’ll learn the basics of patents. We’ll explain what patents can protect, important considerations like the time and costs involved in getting a patent, some important criteria for patents and of course, where to get more help.
