Just like other things in life... if you have to ask you cant afford it...
Seriously, I would say on average $50k. Easy to get up to $100K if you need expert witness testimony and more than $250k if its complex litigation. And thant could be just in costs. If you are paying hourly fees double those estimates.
I just hired an expert in a copyright case -- his fee alone is $25,000. By the time I get to trial the client will have spent more than $50,000 just in costs on this case. And this is a pretty easy infringement case.
