Are you sure? Litigation isn't always expensive if you're doing it in-house.

Lawyer fee is expensive. Discovery is expensive. Patent discovery can run from weeks to months of expert time. Those can quickly add up.

I said 'in-house.' That means lawyers on staff on salaries, not fees to outside counsel.

Work costs money, sure, but I'm skeptical of 'millions of dollars.'
