"IP Australia, the federal agency administering intellectual property rights,
detailed the poor record of patent boxes in its submission to the federal
parliament’s Inquiry into Australia’s Future in Research and Innovation in
2016. It said the literature on such schemes found little if any benefit for
actual innovation, at great cost to taxpayers."
