RE:RE:RE:RE:RE: Joint Notice of Settlement In PrincipleIt was likely an 11th hour deal rather than struck earlier in the Stay. Having the lawyers dot the i's and cross the t's is normal. A similar situation occred with the Kubota settlement.
It will be interesting to see what economics AJX recieves from this deal. It's likely going to be far more significant than Kubata since the infringement was only relevant to the M7 tractor line (top-of-the-line), hence the lower economics BUT that deal also had the prospects of significant future business on top of the royalty.
