Number one, upstream grants so that professors have to have a responsible IP policy and can't just give it away because they feel like it. They have to do it in a way that will benefit Canada.
Number two, train people on how the IP game works. It's very technical and it has to be done in a strategic fashion.
Number three, we need to address this through collective, organized fashions, kind of like western Canada has done with farm co-ops. We need to do that. We're so imbalanced in size.
It's very important to wrap up by saying that 3M has 7,000 discrete patents with the word "mask" in them. Just because we can manufacture a mask doesn't mean we have the right to make the mask. Therefore, we have to pay attention to our freedom to operate, because that's where the geopolitical, the economic and the security battles are.
Those are my three recommendations.
