Fascinating discussion, DAK, Peter, and Rick.

So, Pfizer does have a published theory in this litigation, but it is not prior art, as was hypothesized. OTOH, the dispute over whether royalties should be paid (Pfizer's case) has no bearing on whether the patent is valid and enforceable.

If SIBI were to offer different terms, would Pfizer retract or amend their complaint? For example, a license to use '629 might be offered for $X, or $Y + royalties. If so, would PFE have a remaining complaint?
