You think that is bad? There is a whole class of small company that all they do is apply for government development grants and contracts which amount to funding to develop IP which otherwise wouldn't exist. The company then gets to keep all the IP they developed on the governments dime and if they made anything worthwhile sell it to the government at exorbitant prices.
