The right to use that name in a certain context. Kik was a dick. 30k is a lot, but lawyers would’ve cost way more than that

  An initial consult is often free, and even a $500 consult would have been worth every penny because the lawyer would have (correctly) told him to back off and let them have the name. In any event, escalating - even when you think the other party is being a dick - is never the right answer.

    An initial consult is often free If you're hiring a lawyer off a television commercial in order to make a quick buck off of a fender bender. Corporate law is different.

      When I was sued I was able to get an hour with many of the initial attorneys I called. The biggest challenge in most cases was ensuring there were no conflicts. And as an attorney, if I go back into practice someday, of course I’ll do the same.
