There can be a question of a party having to cover all court and attorney fees, but that only happens (and can happen) in a small subset of cases. This is almost certainly not one of those cases - and even if so, that would have happened during the closing of the case - you don't need to separately sue to recover the costs if you are eligible for them.</p>

Also a riddle:
What does Altair Logix make? Answer: Trouble.
These people and the "attorneys" that represent them are pure garbage and don't care about how much they hurt other companies, and ultimately, people trying to make a living the honest way.</p>

In fact, my friend Anne invented the term, we believe, when we were both at Intel in the last century. Relax, however. She will not be suing you for the use of the term! Congrats on beating this rascal down. Now off to my XBee controlled drone.</p>

Did the taxpayers just pay the court for its time, or was Altair Logix responsible for some part of the bill? Would Sparkfun have had to counter sue in order to get damages that would pay for their court expenses?</p>

But reading through some of the documents: "Altair Logix admits that its accusation of infringement is
directed to the Freescale i.MX6 SoC 1.2 GHz ARM Cortex A9 Quad Core CPU that includes a
NEON coprocessor in each core".<p>So they accuse Freescale of infringement??? that's ballsy. And stupid.</p></p>
