CMU CS alum and Pittsburgh resident here. While $1.17 billion would more than double the university's endowment, it's hard to be excited about this. I don't understand how this settlement is remotely proportional to the damage Marvell could have done to CMU.
This case was also decided by a Pittsburgh jury, which doesn't seem right.
