Prophet,

I think SanDisk's position has always been that a settlement is preferable. It would be a clear boost to both companies by allowing Lexar to continue with its innovations in high speed cards for the professional and prosumer markets, develop further relationship with Sony and remove the dark cloud hanging over the company and the stock (read: injunction, treble damages...).

It would also allow SanDisk to continue with its CF licensing.

SanDisk would probably consider a cross-licensing agreement whereby Lexar's write speed technology could be exchanged for the '987 IP (and related patents) and whatever royalty scheme can be agreed upon.

settlement = good business
