I can complement this, because I agree with Mr. McLean's comments. From the point of view of start-ups, most early-stage companies—let's say pre-launch—are cash-strapped. They evolve, but there is less loose cash in Canada than in other markets.
The difficulty in protecting IP going to market will lead start-up entrepreneurs to make decisions based on having very little available cash in the early stages of companies. That is a disadvantage compared with start-ups in other ecosystems, which might have more access to early funding before their launch phase—their seed phase.
