Round tables are currently under way with business owners. We just finished one in Quebec with a business owner who had used the IP regime properly. She told us that business owners were quite apprehensive about the whole thing because it takes a lot of money and because they have heard all kinds of stories. They are under the impression that they can still be taken to court even if they have a patent, and that if that were to happen, it would cost them even more. So why bother at all? These sorts of fears prompt each business owner to make a decision with their own situation in mind.
