I've been to small claims court twice, won judgements in both cases (they total <$2500 between them); never collected a dime on the first one, and even collected all my money plus interest on the 2nd one.

I billed a couple of clients one hell of a lot of money between 1997 and 1999 working on some patent and intellectual property cases for the law firm I worked for. I learned enough there to realize that this is not an area in which laymen - very much including myself - have even a half-baked idea about. That being said, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to conclude that if it looks like shit and smells like shit, it may very well be shit.

I will tell you this much ... patent cases that are ably contested by equally competent attorneys move at a glacial pace.

And you may very well be right ... there are probably all kinds of VIABLE strategies that a knowledgable attorney could devise. However, I suspect that the Acacia folks would eat alive anyone with a law degree from GFYU.
