I'd say that DT are relieved that their liability has been halved in fact. They've delayed proceedings 4 years which was their primary aim and standard practice in the industry.
They know they've been in breach the whole time - also standard practice in the industry! It's just business.
The good thing for IPR is that they have this lumpy payment coming plus the Oracle lumpy paymen coming. Its a great patient money scenario.
Personally I think the Oracle announcement is the better one - lots of other big parties about to receive "pay up" letters from IPR now. When they review IPR's win/loss record the CEO's will go very pale indeed!
