Simple. It was a mistake because it looks like the kid would accept the offer if it was larger. Go to an IP lawyer and watch dollar signs pop out of their eyes.

Simple. It was a mistake because it looks like the kid would accept the offer if it was larger. Go to an IP lawyer and watch dollar signs pop out of their eyes. In a case like this, they'll assist with negotiating a fair price on contingency. If the kid really doesn't want to sell, he can go to EFF or get a lawyer to do this pro-bono. They love this sort of David vs Goliath stuff.
- sliverstorm 15y agoHow would he know that an IP lawyer would be eager to take the case? Is that supposed to be common sense or something?
- Confusion 15y agoYou're suggesting an IP lawyer would take the case on a no-cure, no-pay basis? Why is your HN advice more credible than the Reddit advice? Are you a lawyer? Have you dealt with this situation? Or are you in fact armchair lawyering as much as the Reddit commenters?
- maratd 15y agoI asked my wife, who is an IP lawyer. That was her advice. Of course, you would expect a lawyer to recommend to see another lawyer, but in this case, it makes sense since there's $$$ involved.
