Another way of looking at this - if you can defend against the most motivated detractor, it seems unlikely there are holes in your plan.

Being able to defend against them doesn't really matter when their end goal is to tie you up in court long enough for them to be able to actually provide a tangible alternative.

Oh, you've got first-mover advantage? How about I force you into court for the next 6 years while I build a competing product?

Except by current Blue Origin precedent, the next step is to sue the FCC as soon as the FCC rules against them. Litigators with deep pockets can absolutely abuse the system.
