I ask for others to guess,,, that was mine... we had multiple products..multiple patents.... we had action both for ITC & NDOC.... we went through several judges... two markman hearings.... read below ,,, 4 million in legal cost plus 960k.... does not seem to be far fetched...
for a single defendant in a case with only one patent at issue, legal costs through the discovery phase alone are averaging $1.8 million in 2009, up from $1.6 million in 2007.Total costs for such cases - including all outside counsel, paralegals, travel, analytics, expert witnesses, etc. - are averaging $3.1 million in 2009, almost 20% higher than the average of $2.6 million two years ago.
