Re: Tate did say to expect a large increase in legal fees with no off-setting revenues

Huh. As though he expects those costs to materially affect the stock.

How much could a law suit cost?

Let's run some numbers...

3 Senior partners at $650/hour.
8 Parnters at 450/hour.
20 Associates at 200/hour.

Billing an average of 4 hours per day on the case.

With an overhead charge rate of 1.25 to cover secretarial, lexis, westlaw, etc.

Is $3.1 million per quarter + air fare, hotel, and misc. expenses for the inevitable meetings - maybe another 400K/quarter.

Call it $3.5 million per quarter in costs.

Infineon should be able to drag this out for several years, at least.

:-)
