As far as I can recall, the amount paid has not been disclosed in any of these cases. I think that's unfortunate, and I encourage SFLC to settle future cases without a clause preventing disclosure of the amount. Without knowing if it's $1000 or $1000000, we're unable to judge whether these cases make future infringement more or less likely.
