Unfortunately, it goes back to funding. From an SME perspective, it's all about cash and cashflow management. We are given funding support to perform the first filing, but if there's a prosecution after that—and the other witnesses have pointed to that—it's really the legal fees that come at it. It's not really the process itself of the maintenance fees after the patent has been awarded. It's mostly the legal fees. There isn't a channel we can turn to. If the IP goes through prosecution, if it's granted, if it goes through enforcement for some reason, or if you want to file internationally, there aren't any programs to turn to in order to help fund those activities.
