I just think it's worth it for MNTA to seriously consider going for the jugular if they do have utmost confidence in the patents.
That certainly is MNTA's prerogative. The prerogative of MNTA's attorneys is to inform that consideration with the risks and explore whether there is a middle ground for settlement that both sides could live with.
It would be a huge win for MNTA if their patent rights can block gL's. The profits from mL, value of the patent estate, value of the analytics platform, and the improved negotiating position for future deals all suggest that.

It is astonishing what foolish things one can temporarily believe if one thinks too long alone ... where it is often impossible to bring one's ideas to a conclusive test either formal or experimental. J.M. Keynes
