Supporting Facts: [SUPPORTING_FACTS] (Provide specific details, dates, evidence of manufacturing capability, infringement threats, licensing deadlines, etc.)

   - Reference to CIPO guidelines on expedited examination
   - Comparison to precedents where special orders were granted

4. **ARGUMENTS SECTION**
   - For Manufacturing: Demonstrate actual manufacturing capability (not just intent), timeline, Canadian economic benefit
   - For Infringement: Show active copying, potential irreparable harm, need for enforceable rights
   - For Licensing: Binding agreements contingent on patent issuance, time-sensitive negotiations
   - For Public Interest: Environmental benefits, public health implications

5. **EVIDENTIARY SUPPORT SCHEDULE**
   - List of supporting documents to be filed (affidavits, manufacturing agreements, cease & desist letters, licensing term sheets)

6. **CONCLUSION AND PRAYER FOR RELIEF**

   - Offer to pay any applicable special fees

**TONE AND FORMAT:**
- Formal legal prose suitable for CIPO filing
- Precise, factual, avoiding hyperbole

- Include bracketed instructions for [ATTACH EVIDENCE] where supporting docs must be appended

**ADDITIONAL CONSTRAINTS:**
- If Manufacturing ground selected: Include statutory declaration language regarding manufacturing capability
- If Infringement selected: Include analysis of potential validity of infringement claims
- Ensure compliance with CIPO's current interpretation of 'special order' requirements as of 2024
- Limit to 3-4 pages maximum for the core argument (excluding schedules)
Best Use Cases
Manufacturing in Canada: A company has set up production lines and needs patent protection before launching to prevent immediate copying by competitors
Infringement Threats: A competitor has launched a potentially infringing product and the patentee needs enforceable rights quickly to seek injunctive relief
Licensing Negotiations: A potential licensee has set a firm deadline for patent issuance as a condition precedent to a multi-million dollar technology transfer agreement
Public Health Emergency: A medical device or pharmaceutical invention addresses an urgent public health crisis and accelerated approval could save lives
Green Technology: Environmental technology that could significantly reduce carbon emissions if brought to market immediately rather than waiting 2-3 years for standard examination
