In the USA it became a business cost. A founder of a portuguese SME that
sells software in the USA told me that they have a full-time employee
that is used to identify possible threats of litigation simply because
they can't afford litigation. If they get sued they'll close down the
company.

Avoiding litigation is the reason they registered software patents.
