Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 5366431, member: 622"] Federal courts are the proper jurisdiction when multiple states are involved. SCOTUS has the final say in contract matters. Federal courts have original jurisdiction in IP cases. No, dismissing a case alone is not consideration, especially when the financial matters are so great and the party likely to lose is is the party attempting to use dismissal as consideration. This is because they are not giving up anything. In this instance, the giving up of a likely losing case is not consideration worth hundreds of millions of dollars. To be sure, the dismissal of ongoing litigation is generally included in the settlement. Anyway, thanks for your legal expertise. [/QUOTE]
