"Did they already settle? Wow, that was fast!"
read reference court case doc. 14 its right in the first link it already moved to ex parte by plaintif.
all there needs by the court is update to the status of resolution to the ex parte, with Jerry being removed from the bridge stone ad its pretty much over with at that point, and the fact it was as of OCT 5th its most likely done in resolution.

Lawsuits are often how corporations try to get the attention of other corporations. Often times they will quickly settle out of court. Sony didn't like the whole Wii promotion angle and sued to make it aware. So, it makes sense they resolved out of court and clarified contract stuff.

I don't think this was a good idea, with all the bad publicity as a result.

If you end up polling Sony faithful, odds are they support the move, because they were screaming his is a "traitor". If you talk to people who aren't into it either way, they don't care. If you talk to hardcore gamers, it is a meh. Yes, it looks stupid, but is it going to impact things one way or another?
Anyhow, often times, after the legal dust settles, there is a kiss and make up period. And now, Jerry's new character is nowhere to be seen in ads, and Sony tries to salvage as much left as Kevin Butler as a brand.
