I would also think that the previous "quick" settlements have included an offer for the infringing party be left nameless, perhaps for an extra 500-750K or so.

In the case of Samsung, given the way that things are playing out, I would doubt if DM will allow the "nameless" card remain on the table, whether the settlement occurs pretrial (or obviously post). Also, if this results in a settlement that is no longer at the early-in "good deal" rate, perhaps we will also see a number published.

Can't wait for the PR to roll with SAMSUNG'S name in big print.
