I don't have an answer to it. I agree with you that it's a serious issue. The larger companies I think are quite aware and have put a lot of effort into IP management, but the smaller enterprises are often small technical people who come out of universities and have very little knowledge.... It's probably best done by the university—encouraged in the university—or perhaps by giving some money to the university to set up programs to provide better education, not just about how to get a patent but how to think about a patent.
