Trek is going to introduce another hub standard to recoup the costs."Split Pivot's lawyers argued that it should not have to pay any costs because the company was indigent and would be bankrupted if forced to pay. The court rejected that argument, saying a bankruptcy court could deal with it, if it comes to that."
At least they don't have to pay the $318,000 that Trek was originally asking for, before the judge reduced it.
Agreed... any $$$ to trek is a hard pill to swallow :/"Split Pivot's lawyers argued that it should not have to pay any costs because the company was indigent and would be bankrupted if forced to pay.

What would you like them to say?So $40k would bankrupt split pivot? If their patents are so wonderful, valid, and valuable they should have no problem selling them to raise that kind of cash.
That's one of the mechanisms that we have in place to prevent frivolous lawsuits - in certain cases, if it can cost you a shitload of money if you file a lawsuit to try and shakedown someone for money over nothing and lose.What would you like them to say?
Oh sure... we're rolling in cash compared to TREK, we're happy to pay any amount, especially if it's around $300K!
This is why the judge awarded accordingly... and trek's corporate suckagge still continues. looking forward to the day special-ed buys Trek!Ok yes bummer DW is batting 0.000, I ain't no bikgineer but in general, you sue me, then you lose, yes you should pay me legal costs. You sued me, bro! America.
The $48k for bikes used in Trek's defense though come on!!! Trek puffing up their chest there jeez.
Remember this: now your bikes cost more, don't ride any better, and each lawyer involved has a new Audi. Yay patent law!
