yea, IP is a big issue.
In design we are seeing the growth of open source and open design http://opendesignnow.org/ but in other areas of tech (inc. pharma etc) IP is still a massive issue and driver of competition.
The free flow of ideas is the biggest challenge. As detritus says, they are excelling in contemporary art but some of their artists are getting jailed for political dialogue.
This is an emerging issue but it makes me think about how European / US design can remain special.
