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.
Already in sight is the day when all men with 1-A draft classifications will be in the armed forces. On that day, some time about the end of 1942, the draft boards will begin calling up men now deferred. This does not mean that every man in the fighting age group 20 to 45 will be drafted. There are an estimated 26,000,000 in this group. At its peak, the Army probably will not need more than 10,000,000 men.
