Intellectual property Consensus

The world of intellectual property is not always in sync with the rest of the world, or in fact with itself.  Here are three points from Ruud Peters at the CIP Forum held recently in Gothenburg, Sweden:

1 – There seems to be consensus in the IP Community (but not always elsewhere) that IP is good and drives innovation;

2 – There is no consensus on the role and value of non practicing entities;

3 – There is little consensus (and perhaps not enough understanding) about how to effectively communicate the value of IP in real world practical business terms.

What do you think?
