Description:

The purpose of this film is to give the Canadian public a basic understanding of their patent system and to demonstrate the importance of patents and inventions to the Canadian industry and economy. An interesting description is given as to why patents are necessary and how the system evolved. The film illustrates how an inventor would go about getting a patent in Canada. Three detailed and several cursory examinations of patented inventions are made, from an electronic device for levelling and aligning railway tracks to the mother's helper, the "Jolly Jumper" for babies. Inventions are often humorous, sometimes beatiful, others bring power and profit. <22min>
