Understanding this quote
Having a patent gives its owner legal grounds to take someone to court, but it does not pay for lawyers, court costs, or the long process of a lawsuit. The quote separates the right to sue from the practical ability to afford suing. A legal right is useful, but using it may still require substantial resources.
