Our Mandate
The Government of Ontario created Intellectual Property Ontario (IPON) to provide intellectual property (IP) supports and services to help businesses and researchers innovate and grow.
An important part of IPON’s mandate is to support the development and protection of IP and improve the commercialization outcomes of research and new inventions in Ontario which will help advance our province’s economic growth and competitiveness. The agency’s launch marks a critical step forward in developing Ontario’s IP landscape and will help advance Ontarians’ abilities to compete in the knowledge-based economy, and support job creation to build a stronger and more competitive province.
