Could also be, oh, someone in let's say UTAH, who is about to settle another case.

I'm just saying that perhaps one of the contingencies of that other case may be the requirement to legally acknowledge (via a 'settlement agreement') that the technology was never his to begin with.

This would fall into place in the fact that no PACER would be filed for this particular settlement since the actual complaint has not been filed yet for infringment.... but it will very likely be filed should the current case not be settled SOON and with the realization by (again, let's say someone in UTAH) and his counsel that neither would rather go up against DM. A SETTLEMENT off the record now, which is part of a SETTLEMENT which will go on the public record, (soon) is in the best interest.... especially when in the past, this company's principal has reportedly claimed to his customers that they owned all the tech, when they never did.

This is a way to him to save face in the aviation industry (as he has many other aspects in aviation business other than simply IFE) than to have a suit filed at a later date available for everyone to see.

But I could be way off here too. Maybe it was simply Nokia and EDIG got 845.23 Gazillion dollars. Then I guess I wouldn't be today's Bacon Double Genius Burger of the EDIG board .....if I ever was!
