My opinion is based on my professional exercise: most of my clients are SME=
=B9s or
start up concerned by Internet technologies. They really need a strong
protection for their real innovation, in order to manage return of invests,=
 even
when their competitor are bigger companies. I=B9m also consultant for VCs and
banks, and investors are mindful concerning IP assets.
