You answered it correctly. They won't receive the benefits of having a patent if it takes too long or it never comes to fruition.
You mentioned round tables. Do either of your offices provide information sessions on how the patent process works? Do you go out to communities?
For example, if I invited you to Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke and I put together a cluster, if you will, would you make a presentation to these people on what they need to do? Some of them are already familiar with the process, but you could expand upon what they may already know.
