Then my follow-up question, does Pacer document a settlement, when there was no suit even filed? As suggested in my WAG senario, a company simply saying "I give up, don't shoot, here's my check."

I'm not trying to "hype or speculate" well, not really, but I want to understand if my thoughts can be a reality? My point is, as word gets out in a bigger way, that the patents/IP have been tested and everyone is folding, could companies find it better to belly up and make the problem go away....and at a lessor cost??
