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.
March 3, 1863, Congress ratified a draft law-the National Conscription Act calling for 300,000 new troops, ages eighteen to forty-five, for three years. This would be the first effective draft by the federal government.The first American draft was put into place by the Confederacy the previous year on April 16, 1862. The U.S. Congress followed with the Militia Act of 1862 which authorized a state-administered militia draft which subsequently failed.rom the beginning of the Civil War in 1861, the need for soldiers would consistently plague the Union and Confederate Army. Raised by the remaining states in the Union, Northern armies were composed of regiments with volunteers enlisting for an approximate three-year term.
