In 2019, approximately 22,000 patents were granted by the Canadian Patent Office. Halliburton Energy Services was again the top recipient of patents with over twice the patents obtained as any other applicant. The other top applicants were General Electric Company, Nissan Motor, The Boeing Company and Siemens.
According to my analysis, the owners that received the most patents in Canada in 2019 were the following:
- Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. (United States)
- General Electric Company (United States)
- Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (Japan)
- The Boeing Company (United States)
- Siemens Aktiengesellschaft (Germany)

I prepared similar lists for 2018, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011. This is the second year that BlackBerry/Research In Motion was not the top recipient of Canadian granted patents and is now no longer in the top-10. IPO has published similar lists for recipients of US patents.
The above data is based on an analysis of the patent data obtained from the Canadian Intellectual Property Office. Please let me know of any errors or discrepancies.
