| Topic | Nintendo wins 2.1 million from rom site |
| Zano 06/01/21 10:30:36 AM #23: | Tyranthraxus posted... Nintendo's lawyers are on salary. They already have to get paid whether or not they do anything. This isn't necessarily true. I work for a large Fortune 500 company and we almost never use our corporate lawyers to go to trial for two main reasons. 1) Corporate lawyers require a different skill set from trial lawyers. It would be like hiring a dentist to do an optometrist's job. Our lawyers obviously assist in the preparation of the case, but the trial lawyers would actually be the ones to show up and do the talking. 2) The corporate lawyers have to be licensed in the state (or country) where the trial is happening. As you can imagine, this is a pain in the ass. Considering how large the company is, there are law issues big and small popping up in practically every state, yet we only have about 8 corporate lawyers. For these two reasons, we frequently have to hire 3rd party counsel to represent us in court. I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo had to do the same. Especially considering how international they are. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
