The following press release sure moved the price down in a hurry. Does anyone have a sense of the financial impact of this? I bought some PD today at $18.60Cdn and put a stink bid in at $18.05 ($12U.S.)which got picked of.

Tuesday Jan 12 1999

Mr. J. Blair Goertzen reports
The company's subsidiary, Inter-Tech Drilling Solutions, Inc., has reached an out of court settlement with Varco Shaffer, Inc. in its Rotating Blowout Preventer (RBOP) patent infringement suit.
Both parties have agreed that the terms of the settlement agreement shall remain confidential, however, it can be disclosed that Shaffer has acknowledged that certain RBOP patents are valid and enforceable. In addition, as part of the settlement, a patent licence with a royalty provision has been issued to Shaffer.
The RBOP is a proprietary rotary well control device which is used mainly in underbalanced drilling. UBD enables some wells to be drilled with minimal formation damage. Reducing this damage yields a more productive well.
