    As long as the claim is timely to when the infringement is discovered. Important clarification.

      What if I discover it and just forget until I want to “discover” it?

      It seems immaterial. It might as well be infinite.

        You can’t know about it and not report it. Once you discover it you have to report it. So you may not know about it for however long but can still enforce it.
