I would first like to thank you very much for the opportunity to be here. I've never done anything like this before, and I was pretty excited about doing it. Thank you for the invitation, and I thank my company for having designated me as the pinch-hitter for John Baker.
I don't know how you folks do this, but I think the one message is we've got to communicate with our trading partners. We have to communicate with the EU and the United States. For the person who asked me about the Canadian embassy in the U.S., this is something that maybe I should be calling the Canadian embassy and asking what is being done about the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office re-exams and the judicial system. It is not that the Canadian embassy is going to change the U.S. judicial system, but communication is absolutely critical in our case for both the EU and the United States.
The rest of the world is going to become more critically important. We're beginning to scratch the surface in China, and Brazil is a daunting place to do business. We've not yet scratched the surface of the IP regime in Brazil. We're just starting that. All this is very costly. Any help the Canadian embassies in these remote jurisdictions could give would be exceedingly helpful. As I've said, we had a wonderful experience with the Canadian embassy in Colombia. Communicate until we can take over the world up here.
