"Differing case strategies"...

Most of the Law firms hired to represent the Magnificient 7 were high powered IP litigators...

They make their money in trying cases and not "Settling" them...

When a defense firm finds out the client wants to "Settle" the case that is the same as having "Differing case strategy" with their client. That is why the bail out...

So, the long and the short of it is that the LG settlement may have started more members of the magninicient 7 talking settlement, and that is good news for us...
