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 4000 Canadian entities, in all sector and from coast to coast in 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.

9. Canadian Patent Landscape
in the US Market
⢠Ontario is the largest US patent hub province;
⢠In Ontario, Kitchener-Cambridge-Waterloo CMA,
Ottawa-Gatineau CMA and Markham municipality
are the top 3 US patent hosting geographical
areas respectively (normalized by population);
⢠The US patent gaining of Kitchener-Cambridge-
Waterloo CMA grows steadily.
