Snapshot Report: Automotive Patents

This report provides a snapshot of the global patent landscape for the automotive sector, with a particular focus on autonomous vehicles, electric vehicles, vehicle connectivity, automotive manufacturing and shared mobility. Due to the correlation between patents and economic indicators, patent landscape reports reveal important information such as filing strategies, sector competitors, economic opportunities, as well as potential risks in a given sector.  
 
The objective of this report is to identify opportunities and risks for Canadian businesses and investments in the automotive sector by analyzing the current state of patenting activities, identifying potential technology gaps and providing actionable recommendations that both industry and policy makers can adopt in their IP strategies.  

The research provided in this snapshot report is a condensed version of a much larger study. Government ministries, agencies, partners and IPON clients are eligible to access the larger report and receive strategic consultation on interpreting the results. If you’re interested in receiving a copy of the full report (180+ pages), please contact services@ip-ontario.ca.
