patent suits often cost $1-2M, why companies like RTI get $20k for LCR and J2/efax get $1/customer for fax2email. Most people cant afford to fight the patent, but they can afford to license it. With the tort reform that I discussed this cost would be placed on the loser, so if its a bogus patent the patent holder would have to pay the person they tried to sue over it. It would likely make bogus patent suits far less common. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast +44 28 9099 6461 US +1 516 687 5200 http://www.trxtel.com the VoIP provider that pays you!
