#4>A California federal judge has thrown out a $32.5 million verdict for wireless-audio company Sonos (SONO.O) against rival Google (GOOGL.O) after finding that the Sonos patents at the heart of the case were unenforceable.
I am used to seeing statements that these legal cases cost $$$$ in legal fees, so I am curious what is likely to have been the spend on either side of the case. A $32.5 million verdict is likely significantly lower than Sonos had hoped. What was that likely to have been as a ratio of legal fees? Would Google have hired outside consul to help defend or is the in house staff sufficient to handle the case?

So refreshing to see some semblance of sanity in these cases...

Haskell is his middle name… literally!
(Okay, not technically relevant, but it is an amazing coincidence. He does have a programming hobby, albeit not using the Haskell language.)

I just wish he was on the Court of Appeals. His notably sane judgments have a habit of being struck down once backroom politics get involved.
