No doubt. I could go on for days here.
Let's just say it'd be important for you to distinguish between
innovation, intellectual property, IP laws and IP rights. These are all
distinct yet in ways mutually constituted. For instance, you may have
"intellectual property," something that is based on your innovation and
intellectual capital, but maybe you don't hold the exclusive IP rights
granted by IP law to really claim your innovation as IP. Innovation as
IP isn't really worth anything in the market unless you have monopoly
exploitation rights granted by law.
Just something to chew on w/out getting to abstract.
