In article <66842@sgi.sgi.com> karsh@trifolium.esd.sgi.com (Bruce Karsh) writes: Most recently, an inventor was awarded a several million dollar judgement ... If you have a good patent and a big company infringes, attorneys will take the case on a contingency fee basis. ... Gee, Bruce, you didn't tell us how much money the inventor ended up with. My impression of contingency fee cases is that the lawyer ends up with most of the money. But if I'm wrong and the inventor actually got a substantial portion of the judgement, I'm sure you'll tell me. -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu]) Russ.Nelson@$315.268.6667 We won the cold war. The Russians spent trillions defending their stuff, then they found that they didn't have any stuff. Will we avoid the same trap?
