If there's a filing to dismiss the case, it most likely means that the two companies have agreed to settle.

A Dismissal filing is what will be seen on the PACER or docket for the litigation. In a settlement you will see these filed from the plaintiffs (Strikeforce) which normally means that they have dropped the lawsuit. Only reason Strikeforce would do that is if an agreement had been reached between the two parties. There are other reasons of course, but everyone would assume that it meant a settlement, since it would make the most sense.

If you file an lawsuit and you decide you do not want to move forward, you can ask the court to dismiss the case. Here are some common reasons for dismissing a case:
You and the person you sued reach an agreement and you want to end the case. (If this is your situation, make sure the person who owes you money follows through with the agreement —and the check or payment clears—before dismissing the case. And make sure that your agreement is in writing and protects both of you.
The person you sued paid you the money he or she owed you.
You cannot find the defendant to serve him or her, but want to reserve the right to sue at a later date.
You sued several people but have decided you only want to sue one or some of them, so you dismiss the case as to the others.
You no longer want to pursue the case because you changed your mind.
