The consequence of not proceeding, to be truthful, would not be profound. We could live without the Patent Law Treaty. We could live without these changes. I think some of the changes, though, will help in avoiding simple mistakes where people have lost rights. There have been instances. We could point to specific cases.
DBC Marine was a case where an error was made. No one saw it. The applicant didn't see it. The patent office didn't see it. These people lost their rights in a meritorious invention. You would look at this and have to say, “You've got to be kidding me, you can't lose your rights over this.” PLT would fix that one.
We could live without it, but it's a positive step. That's my answer.
