Their current situation is of no secret to the global market. If they don't get something figured out, they may rapidly go the way of Nokia and Blackberry. Their backs are against the wall with MUCH bigger issues then patent infringement, primarily speaking, general survival! Sharks are circling and they know it. I believe they fight this particular situation tooth and nail. They're already perceived as weak in the general market place, settling infringement claims probably sets their spins on fire. I think they fight this like a dying dog.
