clawmann: I personally think that at settlement has indeed been reached as it's my opinion that the NSR PR regarding their exclusive U.S. license agreement w/ NeoMedia for the setup of a (possibly global) 2D barcode clearinghouse was predicated on the resolution of the patent dispute. I view it as NSR's PR means NeoMedia "won" and a very favorable settlement with Scanbuy will be forthcoming. I also view this as the beginning of the end of the patent dispute in Europe too. Time will tell on that one.
It's also my belief that the standards bodies (CTIA & MMA heavily included) pushed Scanbuy to this point of admittance that they were wrong in their position on the patents in dispute. This space could not get to where all involved think it can go w/ the court case continuing to be a roadblock. I think they finally saw the light ("persuaded"? were strong armed?) that it's in everybody's best interest that the case be settled, including Scanbuy's.
They put up a good fight and have bowed out (or in...depends on which way one looks at it). I think we will see this PR'd in the next 1-3 weeks...my guess is sooner rather than later.
Again, JMO,
