Litigation Costs

Litigation is expensive, particularly in intellectual property cases.  The American Intellectual Property Law Association reports that the average patent case through discovery (i.e., just prior to trial) costs both parties in excess of $1,000,000.  Depending upon the amount at stake and the financial position of the parties, some lawsuits fully warrant such expense.  But other lawsuits require a much more strategic approach, one where the cost of litigation matters to the party, and actions in the lawsuit must be assessed to determine whether the value in the lawsuit warrants the expense.

Given the high costs of intellectual property lawsuits, often the smartest money spent is money to avoid an intellectual property claim from being brought against you.
