I don't think I've commented much on that old December 12, 2017 transcript. I think I read it differently in part than many have posted on this board. Here's my take.

I've read the full 12/12/17 Duo transcript multiple times. It's from a 12/1/17 court date. I'm going to have to say that I find it significant in that the Strikeforce attorney indicates that there was going to soon be a 3 party agreement between Strikeforce, Trustwave and Duo. Then just a few days later it became apparent to me that indeed the referenced discussions had resulted in the suit with Trustwave being settled around 12/4/17.

Also in that document, the SFOR attorney confirms that the other 2 cases (Strikeforce v. Duo and Strikeforce v. Centrify) weren't going to reach an agreement at that time.

The conclusions I reach by reading this December 2017 transcript and knowing that Trustwave settled a few days later, is that by deduction, it is clear that the successful talks Strikeforce had with Duo were related to settling Strikeforce v. Trustwave. The Strikeforce attorney in the transcript also clearly states that although Strikeforce would like to settle the remaining 2 suits, some discussions up to that time with Duo and Centrify were not able to reach agreement to settle their 2 suits. The "some" discussions didn't sound to me like they were very advanced.

All this was from December 2017 and is how I read that document. October 2018 is a different story. If Cisco didn't get a read on what Strikeforce wanted before buying Duo, I would be flabbergasted. I set my expectations for resolution of the infringement lawsuits to occur after the appeal shows which way the wind blows.
