USPTO Data: CIPO?

Those of you who know me well know that in the past I have harped on patent office statistics like pendency and backlogs.  I think they are important - central, critical even - to understanding how patent law functions in a country. 

Well, the USPTO has certainly taken the idea of transparency in such matters to heart.  Check THIS out.

So, CIPO...  when can we expect a similar level of disclosure?  ;) 


(adding a comparison of CIPO stats to USPTO stats for corresponding applications would be nice too...)

Probably in the 22nd century. And it will probably be the 23rd century before it works properly.
