Yes, they could be evidence in another lawsuit, not between Microsoft and TomTom. If Microsoft sues someone else over the same, or even similar, patents, that someone else would have a reasonable chance of getting at the Microsoft/TomTom settlement terms (at least partially--the settlement amount, for example) via a discovery request, and would be able to introduce that information into trial as part of their rebuttal to the damages part of Microsoft's case. -- --Tim Smith _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
