[The Paraclete]

Apple was responsible for the legal fees in the prosecution of Kang. (see below)

You need to trade in your Mensa membership card for a calculator.

I'm thinking the litigation on that was probably less than 20-30K, max, of legal fees. She's probably at 650-750/hour or so and I can't see her time being over 200 hours (probably much less). Add in the partners' hours and you're probably looking at a max of 30K.

That's $130k on the low side. Not $20k-$30k.
