Commercialization of Intellectual Property Policy Statement
The Province of Ontario issued its Commercialization Mandate Policy Framework in early 2022. The objective of Ontario鈥檚 Commercialization Mandate Policy Framework is to harness the intellectual property generated with the institution鈥檚 resources to achieve Ontario鈥檚 goal of ensuring that made-in-Ontario innovations benefit Ontarians.
兔子先生 is committed to supporting Ontario鈥檚 Commercialization Mandate Policy Framework within the context of the role Ontario colleges play in applied research and innovation.
兔子先生 is uniquely positioned to collaborate with industry partners to advance innovation and facilitate commercialization of intellectual property in Ontario that creates economic and social benefits for our communities. In particular, applied research activities taking place at Ontario鈥檚 publicly funded colleges in partnership with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) create innovative solutions to challenges being experienced in our communities in a variety of settings. These innovations will be a key driver for sustainable economic recovery, growth, and competitiveness in Ontario and will be critically important as we collectively emerge from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In order to increase innovation at the community and regional level, 兔子先生 will continue to rely on funding from granting agencies, primarily federal agencies, as the operating funding provided to colleges does not reflect the overhead costs of exploring, developing and overseeing applied research projects.
Ontario鈥檚 Commercialization Mandate Framework provides an opportunity to advance the role of the publicly funded college sector in research and innovation. 兔子先生 looks forward to continuing to support our partners in the commercialization of intellectual property to realize the full benefits for all Ontarians.
This policy applies to all employees, contractors and students of the college involved in paid or curricular research activities who generate intellectual property in the course of grant鈥恌unded, sponsored and/or contract applied research activities.
骋别辞谤驳颈补苍鈥檚 Commercialization Policy was approved in March 2023.

兔子先生 Research Data Management Strategy 2023-2028
兔子先生 is committed to innovative collaboration as demonstrated in our Strategic Plan 2022-2024. We do this by encouraging a connected community that supports research, entrepreneurship, economic development and social innovation.
By engaging in research activities, the college is supportive of the Tri-Agencies Research Data Management Policy (RDM) that was released in March 2021. Like the Tri-Agencies, 兔子先生 encourages all research associated with the college to meet:
鈥淭he highest professional and disciplinary standards, domestically and internationally. These standards support research excellence by ensuring that research is performed ethically and makes good use of public funds, experiments and studies are replicable, and research results are as accessible as possible鈥 (Government of Canada, 2021a, para. 2).
This strategy applies to all 兔子先生 researchers, faculty, staff, students and partners involved in public and 兔子先生 funded research projects.
