I believe some useful steps have already been taken, but many more are required. In terms of tools, programs like the recently launched ElevateIP and IP Assist are a good starting point.
I mentioned research and development tax credits earlier. My view is that failing to encourage companies to change their behaviour is a missed opportunity. At the very least, they should be required, in one way or another, to give consideration to the intellectual property issue in the work they are doing and to commercialize the intellectual property as soon as it has been defined.
The other requirement, which I mentioned earlier in my address, would be to do something about the recent patent agent privilege issue, about communication confidentiality between the client and its agents. That needs to be dealt with; the current situation can't continue for long.
