And that kind of takes away the idea that maybe entities may just challenge patents. I believe you have some experience in this regard to certain entities that just challenge patents based on, just thinking they aren’t valid.

Yeah, I happen to be in an IPR right now, where the patents, a small company, they have three, four, five patents, and they’re being challenged at year, I believe, year 17 or 18, since the patents were issued.

They’re valid only 20 years. So that company, a large company, now attacked the validity of three of their patents, of the small guy’s patents, out of just, allegedly, the goodness of their heart. They haven’t been sued, there’s no dangers they might be sued, or whatever. They just challenged them. And the Prevail Act would not allow them to challenge.

That’s right, right? You would have to be sued or in danger to be sued.
