The legal scenario if DECN does sue Platinum will take at least another year to play out, longer if any of the past is an indication. I don't see a bidding war from any of the other majors, this is targeted at Platinum/Lifescan/J&J to clean up the mess and hopefully get on with business. If they can't reach a deal with Platinum, this will drag on for several years, likely with DECN not making a very large splash in the market.
JMO and I do think there is a better than avg. chance a deal with Platinum gets done.
