Intellectual Property
Protein Industries Canada has always worked from the principle that IP is a strategic asset that enables
organizations to meet their business objectives. Strategic protection of IP enables organizations to
secure competitive advantages, and Protein Industries Canada works to ensure that foreground IP
created with Cluster funding benefits Canada’s agrifood industry and Canada as a whole.
