Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
I also want to thank all the presenters today for their excellent presentations.
I'm going to start off with questions for Mr. Hinton, and then I'll go to Mr. Strickland.
Mr. Hinton, thank you for your very thoughtful presentation. You gave an urgent call to our government regarding the importance of IP, and an urgent call to action about our needing to create rules around freedom to operate.
For those who might not understand, what do you mean by “the freedom to operate”? Could you explain that in 30 seconds or less? Further, what are the top two or three things we need to do to create a “freedom to operate” environment for our businesses?
