We're pleased with the outcome and that this is now behind us and we can both move forward.
HP has a long history of innovation in PC technology, and we will continue to protect our investment in our PC patent portfolio.
I think Gateway finally realized HP was in a very strong position and it would have cost them more to wait (to settle).
It did send a message to a number of companies of how serious we are. We would prefer not to go the litigation route, but will do so if necessary.
We are in a very strong position. But at the same time, we want to reach a fair settlement in this if they chose to.
