Full Membership gives Canadian cleantech innovators the funding, expert guidance, and protection to turn IP into a competitive advantage, not just a legal formality.
Companies that treat IP as a strategic asset, not an afterthought, raise capital more easily, defend their market position, and expand with confidence. Full Membership gives you the funding, expert guidance, and protection to build that position early, so you compete on strength instead of catching up on risk later.
Grants up to $50,000/year.
Access funds for filing, freedom-to-operate searches, and portfolio strategy, without diverting cash from R&D or growth.
$15,000 in IP credits every year.
Offset the professional fees of building your IP position, so cost stops being the reason strategic filing gets delayed.
Full access to our IP resources and toolkits to inform your decisions and to work more effectively with your service providers. Get a tailored learning pathway based on your stage and goals.
Full access to all reports and underlying data.
See what competitors are filing and where the white space is, before you commit R&D dollars.
Access to the IAC patent portfolio.
Strengthen your own filings and freedom-to-operate position by drawing on a shared, growing base of Canadian IP.
Base premiums covered by IAC.
Protect against the cost of defending or enforcing your IP, a risk most early-stage companies can’t otherwise afford to insure against.
Direct 1:1 support at no extra cost.
Get experienced insights on navigating complex challenges, understanding your options, and tying your IP decisions to your growth strategy.
Full Membership is $15,000/year, prorated by quarter. On its own, that’s an investment.
Alongside it, members have access to up to $50,000/year in IP funding and $15,000/year in IP credits, up to $65,000 in direct funding and credits against a $15,000 membership fee. That’s before counting insurance premiums covered, or the intelligence, portfolio access, and expert support members would otherwise pay for individually.
