I don't think you will see a settlement in that neighborhood ($250 million) on a settlement unless they were deep into a trial at the time of settlement.

To garner those numbers I would think you need a trial by jury with the threat of treble damages, but I hope I am dead wrong and you are right...then there would be no more discussion and most here would be quite wealthy.

However, I think DM is looking to send a message with SAMSUNG and is looking for a good size settlement, as DRVEN referenced, that is as effective as a trial victory, but which serves the day to day operations and company shareholders better than a 2 year wait with nothing to show.
