From: Walter Gilbert
It's my understanding that, in the British system, unlike in the US,
the loser of the case is responsible for the legal fees and court costs
of the winner. That would tend to make their system more workable, an d
would almost certainly make them more likely to foot the bill for the
highest-paid law firm in Detroit, knowing they wouldn't have to pay for
the other guy's representation if they lost.
Of course, my understanding could be way off-base. But, it seems like I
read that somewhere.
There are some places in the U.S. system where "loser pays" applies.
That's one of the arguments for registering your copyrights, because
that's one of those places.
You still don't want to go to court if you can find a way to enforce
your rights without it, but it's there if you can't find any other way.
