We do file provisional patents in the U.S., but there are pluses and minuses to going with provisional patents. You cannot introduce a new IP within it; you have to describe it within the first filing.
There is that quick way, and it is a good way for companies to file, because it sets the date. You can then file patents in the U.S. or in Canada after that date because that sets the priority date, so we're not necessarily disadvantaged doing it in Canada.
I think we file in the U.S. first because that's the bigger market. We want to protect the bigger market.
