Wouldn't that leave the same opportunity to let the damages build up before serving notice?

Only for thirty days. So you can discover infringement and let it sit for a year, but you'll only be able to claim 30 days' damages, and that only by lying to the court about when you discovered the infringement. Do you *really* want to do *that*?
