Easy. The defendant and plaintiffs each hire and pay for lawyers they can or are willing to afford.
But all of that money goes into a prize pot, which gets distributed based on who wins the case.
This would ensure either Nintendo doesn't try to financially grind out a poor small company because the loss would not be worth it to them.
- theultdev 3y agoThat doesn't solve grinding out the small company, though it does reverse the damage if they don't get ground out. The problem is not the end payout, it's the base cost can't be afforded along the way. One side can keep appealing and escalating, the other can't pay for the cases themselves. They may not get far enough to win the pool. You would have to have the lawyers work pro bono or some common legal fund pay for it until the case is won to get the pool. As I pitched to another user, how about: > for lawsuits, if you want to spend $5 on lawyer fees, you have to loan $5 to the other side. > if the other side wins they don't have to pay back the loan.
