There are a couple of other options that we've been looking at over the course of the last couple of years and that we've made submissions on. For instance, one is to use a patent box as an incentive to commercialize in this country. We're actually calling it an “innovation box”. It goes beyond just the patent. Where the end result of a research and development project and the IP resides in Canada, there would be a tax incentive for that product down the road.
The other option that I just spoke about was the flow-through capital shares, where the investor retains the tax incentive for that small business and it encourages the flow of capital into this country so that it stays here.
And then the third one—and Mr. Gold talk about this a little bit—is the idea of a sovereign patent pool arrangement in which the crown actually retains ownership of the IP that is created based on public funding, and then is able to licence that at a preferred rate for Canadian companies.
