Excellent post! I skimmed the original report and was surprised to see such an exclusive focus on patents, in particular in light of AI hype, as you mentioned.
It's a problem across most of the innovation ecosystem. There's much more to IP than patents, but so much of it is difficult to write into policy. Data at least is close to a "tangible" IP asset, which to my mind makes it a bit simpler to manage.
