Manual of Patent Office Practice
The Manual of Patent Office Practice (MOPOP) is published to provide
patent examiners, applicants, agents, and the public in general with a guide
on the procedures and practices relative to the prosecution of patent applications
in Canada under the current Patent Act and Patent Rules. The present manual
applies to applications filed on or after October 1, 1989. For applications filed
prior to October 1, 1989 an older version of the manual must be consulted.
This Manual is to be considered solely as a guide and should not be quoted
as an authority. Authority must be found in the Patent Act, the
Patent Rules, and in decisions of the Courts interpreting them.
CIPO is currently updating the MOPOP. For more information, see the
MOPOP Updates.
