The Expert Panel on Intellectual Property has released its Report on Intellectual Property in Ontario’s Innovation Ecosystem.  Among other things, the report calls for improved education with respect to IP, including for technology transfer staff, students, entrepreneurs, directors and advisors, and improved funding and resources for IP commercialization and protection.

The report recognizes the very important role that intellectual property plays in ensuring the success and prosperity of companies, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in the modern economy.
