Point is that we should not count the chickens till they hatch. We still do not know how much is tied in here.
Point also is that the repost you made from crawfish or whoever is not necessarily accurate and is somewhat or potentially misleading. IDCC DID settle with ERICY and yet they still face significant uphill legal battles, contrary to the mentality that a settlement assures even more settlements due to war chests, etc. Quite frankly, I would like to see a clear and decisive win IN COURT [vs. Scanbuy?] so that there would be an actual decision that would have to be overturned. That would be a HUGE raising of the bar for the IP. Settlements only go so far with other infringers and can easily be 'scoffed' at by the infringers.
Cautionary optimism. That's all.
And yes, analogies only work so well.
