You are exactly right. IDCC did not have injunctions. They were trying to secure one via the USITC but the initial determination/s was/were not favorable. (The U.S. ITC has become a weak venue for NPEs as it takes a long time and is seemingly unwilling to issue injunctions for NPEs... not to mention seems to be inept at evaluating technology patents and is fond of kicking the can down the road for other courts to deal with disputes.) IMHO, IDCC's leverage vs. Huawei had more to do with their strong patent portfolio (size & scope) than it was with their legal enforcement activities.

VRNG having injunctions in hand gives them super strong leverage. How long ZTE can hold out before settlign with VRNG is unknown, but the pressure has been building for quite awhile now.
