I thank the Minister for his comprehensive presentation. In his remarks, the Minister said that the proposed changes would make it easier and cheaper for inventors to protect their patents. He then goes on to state that there is a closer tie between the process and the framework to make it not only easier and cheaper, but more effective in protecting the patent. Can he say anything more, in accessible language, about how it is more effective in protecting the patent?
