Why Google will Not go to trial.

Google can only "control" the outcome by engaging in serious discussions with VRNG. This is beyond the point of a nuisance case. The courts have ruled in VRNG's favour at Markman and in many of the key rulings. Now the question is does Google risk going to a trial where the outcome is uncertain or do they acknowledge that they should arrive at a compromise. They can manage this risk now and settle a case which impacts the core of their business. They can see the quality patent attorneys on the
other side. My opinion is they DO NOT roll the dice on a trial when the Judge has ordered settlement discussions. Google could settle with VRNG for $1 billion plus an on-going royalty without really impacting their cash-flow. However a loss in a trial and they could face multiple of this scenario. Is Google reckless ...I say NO. This is why I believe a settlement is in the works next week!
