I mentioned the patent box earlier. I think that might be a step in the right direction, but there are best practices from other jurisdictions that we may want to look at. You're right. We have incredibly smart people doing some incredibly novel things, but that IP, when the company or the entity gets to a certain point, gets snatched up. It goes either down south or across the pond, and then gets, through the technology radius levels, commercialized and sold back to us as a finished product.
Other jurisdictions put hooks into the public funding of research projects where it's almost like the company runs a tab with the government. As the government invests more and more in that technology development, should they decide to sell their company or take that IP elsewhere, whoever acquires them has to pay off that tab, and then often a multiplier based on the future value of that. Those funds get reinvested into the companies that want to grow and scale in that country, and that's something we may want to explore as well.
