Any serious company in this industry that feels like they do not need lawyers is going to have a bad time.

I have been in the software industry since the late 80's and have *never* used a lawyer once for anything related to any software business I have been involved with - as I said it's a USA thing (but of course many USA people think that their way of doing things is *the only way*).

Definitely.

what do you propose it will cost me as Casascius, a maker of physical bitcoins, to license from you the technology you say is yours?

If you easily accept to pay a single dime to license anything from this despicable piece of shit, I'll lose part of the respect I currently have for you.
Outsource your production to China, change the brand, or even stop this business and find something else to do, but please avoid easily falling for this attack. This creature deserves to be ostracized completely. He doesn't deserve a single penny.

If the patent is granted, I will burn my one and only 1BTC bitbill on you tube and tell the world not to touch anything made by the patent troll..

+1
Actually, I think you should do it right now. In spite of this patent passing or not, the intentions of Bitbill manufacturer are pretty clear. That alone is enough to conclude he doesn't deserve any support.
