CRA was asked by Innovative Medicines Canada (IMC) to survey Canadian industry with respect to the impact of the “promise of the patent doctrine” on pharmaceutical research and development (R&D) activity. In the report, Tim Wilsdon and Adam Mitchell-Heggs explore evidence on the link between the IP system and R&D investment in Canada. CRA initially reviewed existing assessments on the location of R&D in Canada and publicly available articles on the promise doctrine.

The results form the basis for the findings and discussion. To read more, click the link below.
