9/ So, anyway, I've got a lotta irons in the fire right now, so no promises, but there is a > 0% chance that I'll pull together an anthology in the next year or two.

12/ related: there's a small piece of farm equipment that I purchased once, broke, and went to buy a replacement ... and the vendor is out of stock (old woman, husband passed). I've reached out to her to purchase the firm, and she was tenatively interested, but has gone dark

13/ I'd still like to buy the patents, website, and customer list off of her, but if she keeps not responding, I might just engineer around her patents, and commission a machinist friend to build some.

Not legal advice per se, but if you're not looking to launch a full-time business, and she persists in being unresponsive, consider just ignoring any patents and going ahead anyway (via a corp or LLC for some degree of legal security). This is actually a variant on thread theme.

There's more. It might be willful infringement, for starters, which changes the picture a little. Not like "life in prison" changes, but the risk structure is different. You can address the risk pretty well if you structure properly. But you've got the general "it depends" idea.

For instance, you could figure out a reasonable licensing amount and just set that much aside from sales revenue for the length of the statute of limitations. That'd address a lot of the risk, especially since courts today hate hate hate issuing injunctions against infringers.
