Changing technology, consolidation of industries and the increasingly cross-border nature of IP battles are expanding the size and scope of patent cases. The median cost to take a patent case through trial increased from $2 million in 1995 to $5 million in 2005, according to the American Intellectual Property Law Association, which means that firms are missing a potential fee bonanza if they don't have enough lawyers on hand.

For Summer Associates, Size Does Matter

Small is beautiful, according to the more than 7,300 respondents to our Summer Associates Survey.
