re: #459 Obdicut

Okay, Buck. Let me be clear.

A company will not settle a sexual harassment claim that they know to be baseless rather than go to court. Especially not when it involves a CEO and leaves him with the shadow of potential guilt hanging over him.

This has zero similarity to settling a patent dispute.

And you know that.

Again, not true.

Companies will often acquiesce to the settlement demands even if they feel that the case has no merit. That is specifically why they insert the “No admission of guilt” and the “confidentiality clause”.
