As long as the door is still open for patent infringement litigation and a trial by jury remains an option, DM still has an opportunity to do its job.

How far out from here is a trial and what further costs will they incur?

Seems they have done the bulk of their job and I do not see why they would consider not exhausting all efforts to complete the task while the possibility of winning a decision by a jury remains on the table.

How many times have we seen decisions reversed and large sums awarded companies when it seemed the odds were stacked against them?

The judge left the door open, even though she slanted slightly against EDIG. My guess is that it is not over yet, by any means.
