Sorry, been busy getting ready for xmas and just popped into the office to see if anything came out today (home computer is not currently internet friendly).
As per milestones post, any money coming in from either trial or settlements will be taxable.
In reference to what has been frequently posted lately, JMO but I can't see how the defendants would be willing to settle without them thinking that there will be no adverse PTO ruling. Just doesn't make sense. I would further think this is so because Alliacense is willing to settle based on just the 336 and 148. Perhaps a few extra bucks would be thrown in there as a "just in case" the 584 is resurrected thru appeal. Or, as milestone has opined, that we will revisit 584 implications after our appeal is decided. At any rate, IMO, once a settlement is announced any PTO action is moot.
Back to cleaning/decorating. Everyone have a great night.
