PATENTS
A patent is the legal protection given to a functional idea (i.e., the creation of an original prod-
uct or process). This is a particular topic within intellectual property. Patents are granted by
the federal government by way of the Patent Office (which is a division of the Department of
Industry) under the authority of the Patent Act. Related topics: COMMERCIAL LAW, INTEL-
LECTUAL PROPERTY LAW.
BREVETS
Domaine particulier de la propriété intellectuelle, dont il constitue un pilier avec le DROIT
D’AUTEUR et celui des MARQUES DE COMMERCE, le droit des brevets porte sur la protection
spécifique des inventions. Ce domaine, jadis confiné au monde industriel, s’est graduellement
étendu aux produits agricoles, ainsi qu’à la matière vivante.
