2. The Impact of Intellectual Property (IP) on
2012 Canadian Foreign Trade
• The charges for the use of IP accounted for
only 0.68% of Canadian export, but caused
$7.1 billions of foreign trade deficit, about
19.6% of the total foreign trade deficit ($36
billions);
• Knowledge-based is not good enough;
• IP is the key factor to the added value in
global value chains;
• Patent CI can help to improve the added
value of export.
