		<description><![CDATA[
We believe that published innovation without protection is harmful to society when substantial investment is necessary to bring the innovation to the market. Without the possibility of protecting the investment, society will not benefit from the innovation since investors will have no incentive to invest. Since innovation does not necessarily coincide with financial resources, projects [...]]]></description>
