To be exact:...
The parties files documents advising the Court of the following;...
"1. e.Digital and Samsung have reached a settlement in principal of their dispute and
they are negotiating the final terms of a settlement agreement. e.Digital and Samsung expect to finalize the settlement agreement and file a joint dismissal of their claims and counter-claims against each other by September 18, 2009."...
This means they told the Court, "...Your Honor, we reached a settlement in principle, we are telling you about it; and we are asking till September 18, 2009 to file more papers showing how it is "CONCLUDED. at which point they will also file the DISMISSAL of the case"...
This is more than a courtesy filing. Is is a part of most Court Rules for counsel to keep the Court apprised of any developments that might substantially affect the Court's Calendar...
For our purposes the Case has been settled, and the terms of it will be officialy anounced by Septmber 18, 2009...
That is one reason why there is and will be no PR until the trems are finalized...
And please, everyone, don't start the chant "WE WANT A PR, WE WANT THE DETAILS, WE WANT THE DETAILS."...Lol...Lol...
