No, I've proposed removing or reducing IP protections, not transferring them to the state. Allowing competitors to enter the market will obviously increase investment in competitors...

This is already happening - its called China. There's a reason they don't innovate in anything, and they are always playing catch-up, except in the art of copying (stealing) from others.

I do think there are some serious IP issues, as IP rules can be hijacked in the US, but that means you fix those problems, not blow up IP that was rightfully earned

They are leaders in solar and EVs.

Remember how Japan leapfrogged the western car industry, and six sigma became required reading for managers in every industry?

Removing IP restrictions transfers them to the state. Grow up.
