Piratica,

It's a good question....but one that's very hard to answer with any precision.
Like ZTE, D-Link is big company with substantial market share that is competing aggressively all over the world in very competitive markets. They are no doubt asking themselves and their attorneys the obvious questions:
-- should we fight this out in court?
-- what will that cost us?
-- will we win in court?
-- what might it cost us if we're wrong?
-- what can we settle for now?
-- will Vringo be more or less desperate to settle if we stall and wait and dig in our heels?
Etc etc etc

It's a a negotiation.
And that is truly an art.

Hopefully Vringo has some way to entice d-Link to settle now rather than later.
After all, if D-Link is licensed and other competitors are not, doesn't that give them an advantage over others in the market? The others will be at risk of Vringo dropping a legal hammer on them while D-Link will be past that hurdle already -- no doubt at some type of "most favored nation status" type pricing.

Clearly the right thing for ALL involved is settlement -- but arriving at the precise terms is tricky and may require legal battles before conclusion.
