For an indie studio, or even a larger studio operating without much financial buffer, the biggest threat is being forced into a position of having to defend yourself in an expensive court battle (read: essentially all court battles). Whether you're in the right or in the wrong doesn't much matter when getting to the bottom of it all bankrupts you or your company, and in most cases its difficult or impossible to get the other party to cover your defense costs even if they lose. Combined with the fact that, at least in the US, courts give a pretty wide berth for a plaintiff to bring a case, one should usually operate under the assumption that they can be sued at any time, for any reason at all. The only thing protecting you from such action is whether the would-be plaintiff thinks their case can be presented strongly enough for the financial reward to outweigh the financial risk.
What would be happening if the sued person would ignore its defense at court?
Can this be done, for example if the accusations are too ridiculous and would very hardly pass out as legitimate?
