R&G paid litigating infringers & settlements not_K
Post# of 82672
Ropes and Greys specialty is a total beat down of infingers into submission , raid their village , and move on to the next infingers. Make them all pay.
They are not paid to litigate criminal activity or negligence of judges for SFOR.
The district court overturning their decision is embarrassing is a discipline of sorts for these bungling inept judges. No Judge want his decisions overturned. Kronstat already has at least one alice overturned.IMO
If an entity wanted to prosecute Kronstat for whatever reasons, it would be a just cause, however I do not believe SFOR has any interest in paying Ropes and Grey or Blank Rome out of pocket to pursue anything legal other than settlements. That kind of litigation is riskier than SFORs patent, not much of a pay off, perhaps vindication, and would not be under contingency. Contingency is for patents settlements only. As mentioned earlier its strongly rumored R&G are under contingency. Blank Rome is.
Ropes and Grey are not out there to make a better world, they exist to legally get SFOR all the money they have been denied and fiercely make sure SFOR gets all the licensing fees moving forward!
Ropes and Grey and Blank Rome in return will get a boat load of money, one of the biggest paydays , errr um rather pay-years rolling into their bank accounts in return. Which will be rolling in soon enough. Remember the litigation with infringers will be going on for a few years! After one round settles another round begins and so on. Yes there are that many infringers.
Then Ropes and Grey then gets to negotiate the SFORs buyout/merger another R&G speciality. IMO
Ropes and Grey as well as Blank Rome are all in, I can assure you!
