Made in Canada: Historical Canadian Patents

Library and Archives Canada has announced the launch of Made in Canada: Patents of Invention and the Story of Canadian Innovation, a project funded by the Department of Canadian Heritage through its Canadian Culture Online initiative and in partnership with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office. This website features a collection of digitized images taken from microfilmed Canadian patents filed between the years 1869 and 1894. In addition, a database covering the same time span enables viewing of over 14,000 full patents registered in Canada by Canadian citizens or residents
