(rogers.com), without admitting liability, agreed to pay Arlon (arlon. com) an undisclosed sum to resolve certain counterclaims, which remained following an October 2009 court decision in Arlon's favor. Under the agreement, Rogers also said it would forego any appeal and bring the lawsuit to final resolution.
