Manage episode 192394761 series 1161063
When it comes to startups and entrepreneurs with little funding - I’ve spoken in the past about the value of patents and how effective – or rather how ineffective - they really are if you cannot afford to go to court.
I proposed a methodology that avoids your going down this path in the first place, but sometimes, try as you might to keep your nose clean, you get screwed.
So you need to hammer out a settlement...
The first thing to recognize is that you’re not negotiating in vacuo where you’re pitting your claim of loss against what the other side would like to pay in damages. You are weighing that number against a third element: what a court or a jury would likely find – both as regards guilt and as regards damages. Will you succeed in your infringement or product defect claim, and what is a jury likely to award? And then ask yourself, what will it cost you and the other side in money, resources, and time, to go to court?
After that it’s a matter of finding an attorney that will take your case on terms that you can afford.
