spk_5: i'm just reflects that it's probably going to be of a small and of face into the a local would die you add to that

spk_10: okay got it and then i ip can you remind us what other lovers you guys have to school and and additional patents that could extend your ip the on that twenty twenty seven cause additional matter and also when we could get updates on those you
spk_1: for the first security been a just the one that saw a question relative to the i see our challenge which is are three to six and that us we all know on dinner was that was about that was issued a couple of years ago on by the u s p t o based upon the observation we saw in both a of for for and aurora of were when dose adjusting downwards based on each year for response we actually saw improvements in terms of patient response in terms of of there's ah they're lowering of from your i'm so that it was all the way to twenty thirty seven in addition to that and we have additional file things on on file with the u s p t o that it will talk more about as we get closer as these these patents issue or but i would think of these more as ringfencing strategies around the patents that because we have also been a work and would constantly looking at where we might be able to either to the data we've generated towards the generation of new data on hold on in a different belief that is were able to file a and of course looking in exploring different formulations cetera that food to help bolster that of can only talk about of when it becomes real on know that those conversations as well as active patent filings are on or the files of in motion or in conversation at this stage on in also differ was intended to to continue to see the ip aren't true and we'll keep all options open as we as we execute on our strategy and defender defender or i see
