A related note I read recently - CII Industrial Intellectual Property Awards recognize organizations that foster a culture of IP and its commercialization.

A firm like TCS size and reach - filed 5,500 patent applications and has been granted 1,593 patents, as of September 30, 2020

The car has probably already been a third place for a while, although people may not have seen it as such owing to the low-tech nature of how it has been used. Those with small children, or organized travellers or travelling salesmen have their cars equipped around their mindset and lifestyle. Since being locked-down in mid-March 2020, the car has been a lifeline for my husband and me. When the feeling of being boxed in at home has become too much, we have driven around, sometimes aimlessly, and parked by the roadside just to clear our heads and get a feeling of "being somewhere else" even though we might only be a few miles from our apartment.
