The first 6 companies were small and the settlements were small, made no sense to go to trial.
These six have no bearing on the outcome of the next group, they may be larger in terms of settlement amounts and it may be worthwhile to go the trial route.
If Samsung goes to trial, we win, MAYBE, it's no sure thing because you want it tlo be.
If we go the Markman route, or trial, and win, then the settlement amounts can be much more attractive. That's the way the game should be played.
Settlements without court rulings will reduce the dollar amounts.
