The PTO process is independent of the EDOT process, except that as I understand it, the PTO would likley rely on the EDOT process results as well as other licensing results in analyzing the patents validity, corrections welcome.
So you think it's better to give up the jury trial path that will be decided outside of the USPTO process and through which you admit PTSC/TPL had a strong case, and instead submit to no compensation (even temporarily) and also link the process to the USPTO process.
I think the logic you're using is clearly faulty. IMO.
