Patent infringement insurance is generally considered too expensive to be worth the cost. The premiums must be high, however, due, at least in part, to the high legal costs of patent infringement cases. A typical patent infringement case in the US costs 1 - 3 million dollars in legal fees for each side.
Democratic lawmakers in particular have raised the issue, as the military struggles to meet recruiting targets. The nation's first military draft began in 1940, when President Roosevelt signed the Selective Training and Service Act. The draft continued through war and peacetime until 1973. More than 10 million men entered military service through the Selective Service System during World War II alone.
AEF FACT SHEET. Passage of the Draft Bill six weeks after the declaration of war permitted the Army to begin mobilizing the 4 million man National Army contemplated by the most recent General Staff contingency plan. By November 11, 1918, 2,057,675 military personnel would arrive in France. Slightly over half of the 2 million+ were combat effectives and of the remainder about 30% had already become casualties. The bulk of the rest, about 644,000 men, were assigned to the logistical arm, the Services of Supply.
