Presumably in the case of an IP collective, the idea is to allow Canadian companies to maintain IP here in Canada and to better profit from IP here in Canada. I wonder, when it comes to public investment, what that looks like for a return for the state as well.
As Mariana Mazzucato wrote in The Entrepreneurial State, “Where an applied technological breakthrough is directly financed by the government, the government should in return be able to extract a royalty from its application.”
I wonder what you think about not only ensuring that Canadian companies are benefiting, but where we are significantly investing state dollars, public dollars, public investment, in our university networks and beyond, and where companies, Canadian or otherwise, are able to profit, should the state not have a direct return as well?
