Thats pretty good as 90% of all patent infringement cases settle before entering the claim construction stage and 95%-97% before going to court. The settlement rate is so high because if the plaintiff does not win all issues in each stage they lose entirely. In my mind if HCMC case is good, it behooves PM to settle to mitigate risk of a very large payout. It also makes sense for HCMC to settle to avoid the risk of total loss and instead ensure they walk away with money in the coffer. I think it largely comes down to what will the parties settle on and at what stage of the process. But hey, they may go for gusto. We will have to wait and see, GLTA
