`AIPLA Report of the Economic Survey 2021
`
`TYPICAL COSTS OF LITIGATION
`
`Survey Participants were asked to provide cost estimates, but ony for the types of itigation they had personal
`knowledge of ether as a service provider fattamey in private practice) or asa purchaser (corporate counsel), and
`were engagedin relatively recently. “Total cost” was requested, and includes outside legal and paralegal services,
`local counsel, associates, paralegals, travel and living expenses, fees and costs for court reporters, photocopies,
`courier services, exhibit preparation, analytical testing, expert witnesses, translators, surveys, jury advisors, and
`similar expenses. Participants were also asked to estimate based an a single [P asset (L.é., one patent at issue, one
`trademark, etc.).
`
`The following table reports median litigation costs for Patent Infringement, All Varieties, Patent Infringement
`Pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act, Patent Infringement by Non-Practicing Entity, Section 337 Patent Infringement
`Action in the International Trade Commission, Post-Grant Proceedings by Technology — which was new in 2019 and
`updated for the 20271 survey, Trademark Infringement, Trademark Opposition/Cancellation, Copyright Infringement,
`and Trade Secret Misappropriation. In 2017, new categories (varieties) were created including initial case
`management; inclusive of discovery, motions, and claim construction; inclusive of pretrial, tial, post-trial, and appeal
`(when applicable}; and the cost of mediation.
`
`To facilitate temporal comparisonsoflitigation costs to previous surveys, and in consultation with AIPLA staff, new
`Varieties were matched up (when possible starting in 2017) with old varieties based mainly on the variety name. For
`example, Inclusive of discovery, motions, and claim construction was matched up with End of discovery, and Cost of
`mediation was matched up with Mediation. It should be noted that these compansons are approximate fiven the
`differences in variety names, and thus caution should be exercised when making comparisons to the historical data.
