    <p>Reason 1 that I talked about in that lecture ...<br>
    </p>
    <p>Suppose you want to collect pre-grant damages.  Well, the
      pre-grant damages are predicated on the content of your published
      claims.  To collect the pre-grant damages, among other things it
      has to work out that the conduct of the infringer is covered by
      the published claims.</p>
    <p>So now let's imagine you filed a PCT application.  And the ISR/WO
      shows up and you realize that the claims as filed are not the
      claims you will later be asserting against infringers.  Then an
      Article 19 amendment is the perfect way to arrange for publication
      of the claims that you will later be asserting against
      infringers.  And you will be able to collect your pre-grant
      damages based on the Article 19 claims.<br>
