If they file bankruptcy they have to sell off their assets to raise money for their creditors- assets which include the patents themselves.

- mnutt 14y agoTrue, but doesn't losing mean having the patent declared invalid anyway? Which renders it worthless whether or not loser pays.
- tedivm 14y agoNo, it's just one way they could lose. The other side can be found to be non-infringing, or it could be found that a very very specific clause of the patent is invalid as opposed to the whole thing.
