NSF study shows more than 90% of US businesses view copyright, patent and trademark as "not important"

That’s not surprising - what percentage of businesses are doing anything that’s (meaningfully) patentable or copyrightable? Even working for software companies, patents have never been relevant to the working of the business (in the sense that we weren’t making anything that made sense to try to patent). Working in the game industry, copyright is quite a big issue, but how many US companies are in the “content creation” business?
