Yes. Thank you very much.
I'll cite, of course, ExploreIP, which is quite an interesting and wonderful resource for companies looking for public R and D. I should check the numbers, but I remember something on the order of 4,000 opportunities sitting there. However, only maybe 400 of them, or 10%, were active, and possibly even only 10% of that was being actively pursued in terms of intellectual properties and business.
By the way, what they do wonderfully is map out the 35 areas of technology focus in the country. If you're in materials or agriculture, or if you're in tech or communications, you can see where those are. It is a helpful navigation tool, but as I just suggested, there is not a lot of engagement or pickup.
For example, if you look at what came out of the expert panel on intellectual property, the expert panel that created IPON, the intellectual property office of Ontario, that's where the rubber really hits the road. You have an organization that is looking at the interface between universities and specific regions—in this case, Ontario—and they are putting in place those things from recommendation 1: IP education, IP intelligence and experts, enabling freedom to operate through collectives and incentivizing patent, trademark and industrial design filings in a very systematic way.
That's actually a good example within Ontario, but this is Canada and the Conference Board of Canada, so we have to take a national approach to this as well and not just lead provincially.
