re: settlement confirmation
I dont think Applera is as submissive as people make out. If it were going to cost them a huge amount in legal costs with great risk of losing, they could simply buy out GTG at anytime. Regardless of who you are, you really dont want to drag out legal battles as it takes your focus off the job at hand and costs time and money which simply goes to lawyers.
Saying this it is a huge win for GTG, as it does set precedence and there would be very few who would now be willing to fight any GTG request. GTG has a great future now. The only down is that their patents have a limited lifespan, and after all the DNA discussions, I cant see it being renewed, so GTG need to make the most of the time they have to really hammer the nail into the coffin.
