Obtain patents and copyrights
You invest significant sums in innovative technologies that you hope will be the source of your future profitability. Despite this, we too often hear this kind of comment :
What's the point of protecting innovative technologies with patents or copyrights if they are immediately copied or superseded by new ones ?
At R&D Action, we believe it is important to protect these investments, especially since this protection can allow your company to benefit from a reduced tax rate on the income derived from their commercialization.
In short, IDCI/DICI promotes the retention and commercialization of eligible Quebec innovations, that is, inventions protected by patents or software protected by copyright.
This deduction allows the company to benefit from an effective tax rate of 2% on the eligible portion of its income from the commercialization of a qualifying intellectual property asset. This represents a reduction of 9.5 percentage points compared to the general rate of 11.5%.
The Opportunity
A partner of R&D Action is an expert in patent and copyright applications. This team can also perform :
Prior art searches to guide research and development efforts and avoid litigation, or to provide critical analysis as part of due diligence.
Title searches, negotiation, and drafting of agreements related to the commercialization of copyright.
Development of long-term protection plans tailored to each client's needs, taking into account the most likely sources of infringement.
Note: The federal government offers a CANEXPORT-INNOVATION program that subsidizes activities aimed at obtaining intellectual property protection and certification for international markets. You can therefore protect your assets and benefit from a reduced tax rate.
Securing your copyrights helps protect your valuable assets and reduces your tax rate on income derived from those assets.
