We have already knocked down a few of the patent claims. A few more to go. We still think in the end that we will get out on non-infringement rather than invalidity which means those that settled will still have to pay... and pay... and pay...

We think in the end they will try to appeal but we will continue to fight.

Hope that answers your question.
Yes they are. They got a swelled head, and started trying to take more and more until they hti some companies with deep pockets, and the backbone to fight them.

But those who settled will be bound by agreement.
