Well, I'm not saying this about anyone in particular, as I don't want to get sued for defaming any particular person's character (LOL), but in general it is a fair statement that it is often less costly for a big company to settle out of court rather than go through the expensive process of defending themselves against a lawsuit. So even though the company might be 100% guaranteed to 'win' its defense, and have a patent declared invalid, there is still a decent chance that someone holding a "questionable" patent could make a profit from it out of court.... - C
