Very interesting article on the way Settling a lawsuit works:

It's mostly written from how a defendant needs to look at it, however you can also look at it from the patentee's side.

If the patent owner’s attorneys are working for a contingency fee, then the lawsuit is costing the patent owner little because the attorneys are bearing the risk of collecting nothing if the patentee loses. The longer the litigation lasts, the greater the cost and risk to contingency-fee attorneys, so sometime they can become your allies.



Settlements Usually Occur Before or After a Big Decision

Could this be KK's wedding? LOL big smile

Courts also know that the pressures of impending deadlines may move the parties toward settlement, so the courts may not give the parties a long delay.



And a lot more interesting stuff...
