But there was no need for TPL/TT to "worry" this so. It's not like it would have been the end of the world if we had gone to trial and lost. Remedies abound. USPTO, Appeals. And who was in the stronger position "going in"?

The argument is very hollow, IMO. And what would the difference have been? Hundreds of millions? Throw in the towel with THAT kind of money involved?

Just another extreme weirdness, IMO. Brought back for consideration by the very people advocating the opposite. Weird on weird.
