    Inequitable conduct is seldom proved but almost always alleged. Right now in litigation it costs a fortune to prove you didn’t do something wrong when applying for your patent or in the use of your patent. That’s an example where the cost of litigation is simply rising. The other major issue that we’re seeing is the question of apportionment. If there are a thousand patents making up a product, what part is the infringement of one patent supposed to play?
