Apple Inc (AAPL)

[dilleet]

MSFT did not settle for anything "substantial", thats why brst share price crashed after the announcement. Arguing in high levels of the court is very costly, MSFT's defence was the same as Apple's will be, put simply "been there, done that"
For MS and in some cases Apple, whether right or wrong, it is often less costly and more expedient to just pay off these schmucks and be done with it
