Ooooooops?

Knowing the settlement numbers is far less important, in my humble opinion [I agree, we'll that in the 3Q anyway. But I would rather see "license" than "grant"] , than the FACT that ALL DEFENDANTS have VALIDATED the MMP PORTFOLIO [Can you point out the language where defendants validated the MMP Portfolio?]

Think of the message to the current roster of Companies on notice for potential infringement: We fought, we used every trick in the book, then we SETTLED. How much easier has this made it for advisors to recommend licensing to their clients? Very easy I assume.

Just because something isn't explicit does not preclude it being implicit - I disagree.

You asked, so I'll reply:

Patent validation - The terms of their settlement include the grant by the TPL Group of rights under the Moore Microprocessor Patent Portfolio to Toshiba, Matsushita and JVC and their respective subsidiaries. 

License vs Grant - semantics

Your disagreement made me smile, for the simple reason that you stated "Very easy I assume" to the implicit message in the prior paragraph.

Be well
