Well, at the first paragraph you say
"The answers given below are for citizens that do not want to respond as if they have intellectual property rights." and "We will soon publish a another preliminary response guide for citizens with intellectual property rights", so I though there would be another one.

Then I checked the questionnaire and in the background information, there are questions that don't fit. I know that depending of previous answers you get different questions. I checked the Citizen holding IPR and I got some questions where I have some doubts:

26. How would you evaluate the significance of your intellectual property rights and related assets based on the performance and growth?

27. What is the value of your IPR portfolio?

28. How do infringements of your intellectual property rights impact the total value of your IPR portfolio

29. What is the substitution rate between original goods and counterfeited/pirated goods in your sector according to your estimation? How do you measure this rate?

30. How do infringements of your intellectual property rights impact your investment in research, development and innovation (eg. estimated loss in investments/amount of investments not undertaken)?

In some questions they ask the value of IPR in euro, but I don't know this value. I can explain that I believe the value of my IP is greater if there are more people sharing it and using it, but would they consider my answers?
Or because I don't give a value in euro, they would dismiss my opinion? Is it better to try to give a number to my IP?

I'm sorry for all this questions. I'm not sure if you can help, either.
I am trying to answer it and if I can do it in a satisfactory way I was thinking of writing a post in my portuguese blog alerting and helping other people to answer it.
Thanks in advance
