The Manual of Patent Office Practice (MOPOP) is maintained to ensure that it reflects the latest developments in the Canadian patent laws and practices.
The following amended chapters are now available for review. Note that the response period differs with each chapter.
We are currently rewriting the following chapters and will be asking patent examiners, patent professionals, as well as the general public, to provide feedback and suggestions.
Following public consultation, comments received are reviewed and the Commissioner of Patents determines which changes should be incorporated into the chapter at publication.
Your feedback is important to us! Please direct all suggestions and comments to:
