Chick, yes it is retroactive but only in the sense that they would have to
know and track down all users of the patent. More likely they would charge a
royalty from the start and anyone who sold very large quantities and didn't
keep records would be in a hurt, since they can "estimate" damages and you
would have to prove with evidence that they were off in their estimates.
The real problem is lawyers will, and I guess should get involved, which
jacks up the ante quickly. You can also hire legal help, but is it really
worth it?
