Silver...it's tricky connecting dots.....lol

"With my recent track record, I will no longer post of settlements that I think have been reached, and certainly not chance percentages a settlement has been reached, between any parties. EXCEPTION:The PACER filing clearly states in black & white that a settlement has been reached."

There may not be a settlement spelled out in the Leica AG dismissal pacer, other than it being "without prejudice"....The details between e.Digital and that entity have ended for now with that pacer, where that entity is not the totality for the defendant referred to as "Leica" in this case.

IMO, there is agreement happening that dismissal revolves around... I feel you are on the right track with your assessment. Where if it does not turn out to be an engagement in a "Leica" settlement......it's just an opinion of the situation, so if they do not like it, just say.... tough cookies.
