Abstract

Coolidge (CKC), a chemical manufacturer, is being sued for patent infringement. Plaintiffs are the patent holder and its sole licensee, who is also a CKC competitor. An analyst at CKC has done break-even decision analysis from CKC''s perspective, balancing going to court with settling out of court, but no analysis has been done for the plaintiffs.
