Seems that the economies of scale apply also to litigation.

When a company initiates a dozen similar lawsuits, it seems that they hold a competitive advantage over any one of the the dozen defendants.

But can't the defendants pool resources as well? I seem to recall this has happened in some high-profile patent lawsuits.
