$AUPH I agree with respect to the patent litigations there is a Rule 16 telephonic conversation scheduled for March 23rd and keep in mind all the 5 litigations have been bundled up into 1 case. During or after a Rule 16 phone conversation, settlements may typically be made. With regard to the Tidmarsh litigation, I don't think it is as huge deterrent as the generic litigations (which can be settled as per above), as BP is better equipped to handle defamation cases.
