For example...settlements can fall all over the place...

"RealNetworks agreed to pay Burst a one-time payment of $533,500.00 cash"

*******

Under the terms of the agreement, Apple will pay Burst.com a one-time $10 million licensing agreement, granting it access to most of Burst.com's patent portfolio. The cash settlement also gives Apple immunity from lawsuits related to new Burst.com DVR patents. Burst.com's board still has to approve any final settlement agreement. $10 million is a pretty good deal compared to the $60 million Microsoft paid Burst.com,
