Abstract
This submission deals specifically with Section 8.1 titled intellectual property. The term intellectual property encompasses a range of interventions into the market, with quite different eligibility criteria and privileges. As a result use of this term can lead to imprecise thinking and unclear communication. In responding to the draft report my major focus is on patents, with some minor comments on copyright and very brief attention to four other potential impediments to the spread of innovation.
