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.
But this ignores the fact that the drive to draft in the North began less than three months after the Confederate conscription act, that in at least five states in the North an extensive draft took place in the fall of 1862, and that all the Northern volunteers in that season signed up under threat of being drafted.rior to that law the North had obtained its troops from volunteers and state militia called into Federal service.[2] The Northern 1862 draft was an attempt to let the states handle their own conscriptions, based on the antiquated militia system.
