So what happened here?
It seems that Sun and Kodak settled, just before the damages phase was to begin. I'd love to know what the settlement terms were - and what this will end up meaning long haul for the industry. It can't be good - news of the settlement pushed Kodak shares up, and Sun shares down - and it has to embolden every other company that wants to play "business plan via patent suit". Goodie.
