I agree, but I think IP licensing, which was brought up by one of the other witnesses, is very important. I didn't realize that out of, I think it was, 100 patents in universities, only a few of them were actually licensed. If we can put in some measures to help the licensing to third parties, that would probably be of higher importance than lengthening the patent.
