"A patentee is one to whom a patent is issued....In these cases EDig."

If that is the case, then we are back to my original thought of adverse claims construction relating to the patentee.

Why would a defendant settle if there are adverse claims construction entered into the record after a Markman hearing?

I'm not going to worry about it, DM was involved with the Markman case, I'm sure they have a fair idea of how to handle it.
