With regard to the Quebec program, we know that in the first year, all the funds that were allocated were used. The criteria are for small businesses, and therefore it's not for universities to use. I don't have more information on exactly who is using it.
In terms of another country we're aware of that has something similar, China has subsidies for patenting, but I think it's broader than just the first patent. A broad range of all types of patents and so on are provided subsidies. Otherwise, I'm not aware of the existence of a first patent program elsewhere.
