I know for a fact that in most all cases a simple transfer of ownership is sufficient. Therefore if I were GI I would try to settle for less than the full $55k stating the defendant is fortunate to receive anything considering the circumstances.

Now it isn't as easy as this as the complaint machine and lawyers are in motion likely before such an offer would ever be an option and therefore costs would already have been incurred. Also I understand that sensable decisions are not the ones most commonly made and I suspect they would persue even if the cost exceeded a settlement, this is not a suprise. However is it possible they are not paying a dime for legal counsel and perhaps it was donated?

If the owner was willing to give the name to Goodwill Inc. for the $55k he plunked down, not making any profit, would that be a fair resolution? @josh

Here’s a wrench in your argument. If the owner was willing to give the name to Goodwill Inc. for the $55k he plunked down, not making any profit, would that be a fair resolution?
