" As I said, I think that LG and VCSY have come to a settlement agreement. In order to settle things between those two parties, they need to seperate themselves with Samsung, which is joined with them in the previous lawsuit.
My thinking is that VCSY will make sure that the terms of the settlement will be confidential, and they surely would not want Samsung to have access to the details of the settlement terms and VCSY will want to have mediation details considered priviledged information and not be subject to subpoena by other parties (ie... Samsung and/or Interwoven). I did some DD and discovered that some states will NOT allow confidential settlement details and/or mediation details to be released to outside parties via a subpoena, so that information will truly remain confidential. Two of those states happen to be New Jersey and California!
Are things making more sense now? "
