Proactive I/P Lawyering a Bad Thing?
Maybe, maybe not, say the comments on this article. What are your thoughts on this controversial topic? Are enhanced damages just an excuse for attorneys and their clients to bury their heads in the sand until things get out of control? Why shouldn't purposefully avoiding an examination of your competitors intellectual property rights be the real basis for a finding of wilfull infringement and enhanced damages? After all, ignorance of the law is no excuse.

Should the law encourage people to hide their heads in the sand and ignore the property rights of others just so they might (or might not) avoid enhanced damages? Sometimes a lawsuit without enhanced damages can still put a company out of business, or at least cause it to discontinue a product line.
