The Microsoft settlement for the same was interesting:
"Vringo also sued Microsoft over ads in its Bing search engine. Microsoft settled that case in May, agreeing to pay $1 million plus 5 percent of whatever Google ultimately pays."
It's strange agreeing to pay 5% of Google outcome on the same and quite clever the more I consider the pros/cons.
