Interesting parts
"Opportunity 3", according to pages 6 and 7, say:
- "...one could be
tempted to consider ever stricter IP protection regimes to provide ever more stimuli for innovation.

This position should be bolstered, by (1) putting forward academic evidence and (2) making SMEs’ concerns heard.

The majority of them is deterred by the costs of patenting themselves, but would have to navigate around software patent portfolios of large corporations.
