Perhaps the newest settlement was done because TPL is convinced the Barco case is going to be won. Otherwise they just cut their losses taking what they had and calling it a day. This new settlement bodes well for the future.

My thought does include an assumption that TPL knew they were going to lose against PTSC but can now see much brighter days ahead and soon. If so, they stand to make alot more money, thus their eagerness to put the contention behind them.

I only post this thought for consideration because as I read sparse posts on this forum alot of people seemed to be of the conviction TPL could have dragged this out for nearly a decade if they'd wanted.

Corrections Welcomed.
