YES- $MSFT Settlement Timeline: As you can see, complaint versus Microsoft was filed on June, 2015. However, SERVICE OF PROCESS was served on the defendant on Oct.2015. This means that Microsoft only found out about the complaint in Oct. As we all know, if there is a complaint, there is an answer within 30 days. A stipulation ( which means it was agreed by both parties) to extend to answer the complaint was extended to Nov 25, 2015. On Nov 19,2015, a stipulation to further extend time for the second time to answer was filed and approved by the court Time to answer was moved to Dec 16, 2015. On Dec 16, Microsoft answered the complaint asking for a jury trial (This is almost always a standard)

At this point, people would argue including myself that this would take forever to conclude because just like other patent cases (i.e. WDDD), the strategy of the billion dollar company defendant is to prolong the case by continuously asking for extensions and so on until the small plaintiff just folds. Yet, a month later on Jan 19, 2016, one of the biggest if not the biggest company in the entire planet SETTLED with SFOR!!

So in summary, from Oct 2015 when Microsoft found out about the lawsuit, it only took 3 MONTHS to reach a settlement. From the time Microsoft answered the lawsuit it only took 1 MONTH

DUO/Trustwave & Centrify- With IPR in SFOR's favor- their time is up. VASCO & GEMALTO as well
