Thanks for asking, but I can only set the publicized facts side by side. Everyone has to draw their own conclusions

The Trademark Board case history site shows the initial filing of trademark opposition:
https://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pno=88598662

was 09/09/2020. This filing was a request for a 90-day extension to actually make their case. I think this was right under the deadline wire for filing their opposition (but I could be misremembering).

Edgar:
https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?CIK=0001551906&owner=exclude

shows the NT 10-Q (going-to-be-late filing) was filed 2020-11-27.

The Trademark Board case history then shows the case that we've currently be watching:
https://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pno=91266421&pty=OPP&eno=1

The case number was changed, and the 'real' case began 12/09/2020.

Early in Jan 2021 was the first mention of settlement negotiations (01/13/2021) in a motion filed by the Defense (Illegal Brands IP)..

Starting 3 months later (04/02/2021), all subsequent requests for suspension for settlement negotiations were filed by the Plaintiff (Ilegal Mezcal).

So, the facts line up with the theory that Nixon stopped filing because of the Trademark suit, and stayed dark because of settlement negotiations, so that he would not publicize what was going on.
