A patent is a legal document that describes an invention in words and drawings. A patent also includes claims which define the protection the patent gives to the invention. The government grants the owner of a patent the exclusive rights to make, use or sell the described invention. In return for this exclusive set of rights, the inventor reveals to the public, through the patent, details of the invention.

Our professionals at Cameron IP have extensive experience in drafting and prosecuting patent applications before both the Canadian and United States Patent Offices. Through our foreign associate network, we frequently secure the protection of inventions on a global scale.
