Actuate IP's fixed fee proposal along with "unlimited access" is a farce. They will bill you for services you didn't agree to as if you've written a blank cheque and are not in contact when you ask. More importantly, the legal advice I received employed the strategy of prolonging contention and drawing out the process (to prolong the use of their services). I ended up settling this matter myself directly and paying far too much for inconclusive information that didn't resolve the matter. The learning is this - whoever has the greater funds is legally correct.
