Amarin Corp Plc (AMRN)

[hamkypamky]

Putting your legal hat on (assuming you were completely neutral and not an AMRN shareholder).

Let's say AMRN paid a hefty fee to settle with H&R (something like $1B committed over the course of the next 5-6 years).
Another generic enters Q4 2020.
AMRN files suit in separate court.

Would the new generic then cite DU's ruling to support their case and the fact that AMRN didn't decide to appeal but settle (meaning they tacitly agreed with DU) substantially weakening AMRN's case?
