- Intellectual properties means.

- patents, rather than brains

If the name “Bureau of Intellectual Properties’ makes you think of brains floating in specimen jars, relax--it's not like that at all.

The Bureau of Intellectual Properties (B.I.P.) ia the division of Consumer and Corporate Affairs Canada responsible for — the registration of Patents, Copyrights, Trade Marks

and Industrial Designs.

a patent is a grant by the Canadian Government giving the inventor the sole

right to make, use and sell an invention for 17 years. After that, the patent expires and anyone may produce or sell the invention.

Confusion often arises over the difference between a patent and a copyright. A copyright protects artistic works such as books, paintings or photographs, A patent protects the structure and function of a product or

peocesa which {s primarily

utilitarian in nature. If you've written a poem, you'll

protect it with a copyright. you've built a better

mousetrap, you apply for a patent.

There are no pre-printed patent application forms. Applicants submit their own applications in accordance with a format laid down in the Patent Rules,

A working model of an invention is not required by the Patent Office, but the invention must be able to perform the’ . functions claimed for it by the in-

ventor, °

‘Some things are not patentable. Among these are a mere idea or suggestion, a method of doing business, recipes for dishes or drinks, or a device whose only difference from older devices is a change in size, shape or degree.

The Patent Office fees for consideration of a patent vary with the type of ap- plication but generally run around $154,
