Sleven, yes, I agree. However, we also don't know what Sarissa knows. They MAY be willing to settle sooner rather than later, if they believe they can take back the market through other means (ie. a new formulation).
They also may weigh the option of waiting until early 2027 for a ruling, plus a few years for an appeals process, vs. getting something done with Hikma now, and moving forward.
BUT...the new formulation will ALSO likely take a few years, so if they are waiting for that, they might as well continue pursuing the case with Hikma to the end.
These are all the scenarios I have been bantering around in my head.
But I agree, all things being equal, a ruling in our favor is far better than a settlement.
