My point with this is that if a person did their job correctly and truly believed they were in the right, but still lost their case that shouldn't be considered a bogus claim.

But if he is using your material without a license you don't even need a lawyer. It's ridiculously easy to prove that he does not have a payed for license to use your stuff. I just don't see how this could be more than 5 min in court. Either he has a contract that permits him use of your material or he does not. Super simple.
