No, because there is a difference between "invalidation" and "non-infringement". We are likely going to be out on non-infringement - meaning we don't have to go the extra long mile to get an "invalidation" of the patent. Conversely, everyone who signed and agreed to the patent validated it as applied to their own business.
I know all those who settled thought that we would spend all the cash to invalidate it while they sat back thinking they made the smart biz move. They will still have to pay. And pay, and pay, and pay...
