It would be awesome to get a final legal judgement, but that is the last thing the folks with deep pockets want to see. Admitting to patent infringement is what gets executives fired and board members recalled. All of the damage claims and threats of treble damages (which are almost never awarded, no matter how willful the infringement), are what help shape the size of settlement. It is kind of an expected value and time value of money calculation. It does matter, but in practice it generally turns into a gigantic negotiation around a complicated math problem.
