Realistically.

When you look at individuals.

You know even talking about the apple Samsung patent -- so much lately.

Is it just about patents anyone else constitutes innovation it's gotta be the people to -- Sure you know from minute from an innovation standpoint there are lots of ways to innovate you know from a Thomson Reuters perspective we felt that we could use -- intellectual property information.

And financial data to Cora -- who successfully innovating and what kind of results is produced as a result of that innovation.

And so there's no doubt that people are factor business models packaging marketing they're all types of innovation we're focused on that the type of tangible innovation that.

It creates products services and and creates jobs.

Actually think this is -- feel good study -- -- a lot of American companies for Google eighteen T.

Lockheed market all made the list for the first time this year how come if it can possibly because of our research and development credit.

Yeah I think realistically there a lot of factors sub part of it has to do with economics so when you look around the world there was an increase in the United States and and an increase and in Asia.

There was decrease in Europe that I I don't think that when you read the paper every data that should come as a surprise given some of the economic pressure that Europe is facing.

When you look at the convergence of telephony computing the Internet and entertainment the Smartphone wars as you referred to.

Contract's value you mentioned you know tax credits subsidies -- -- -- I think what you think about the time period that was used to evaluate you forties this year the period of time was 2009 through 2011.

So there was a lot of government activity associated with.

Funding -- both not just in terms of incentives for R&D.

But also government funding itself to drive innovation around environmentally friendly vehicles for instance in the automotive space.

When you look at the the department of the army the department of the navy there is obviously a lot of defense spending as well.
