Again, it depends. In the software community, moving fast is really the important thing. Having an open system, open source, works in that space. In industries where you have to make capital investments, such as chemical processing or manufacturing, where there's heavy equipment, there is a lot of risk in those capital investments. People want to make that investment with some surety that they have proprietary advantage. Patents, for instance, play a role in those spaces.
I think it's not one-size-fits-all. You really have to go industry by industry.
