Is it clear that they are going to stop paying prior to a judgement?

No, they certainly won't stop paying until somebody tells them they have to, unless they themselves decide it looks bad (highly unlikely). But that might well be just the first step in a long series of court cases and additional/alternative changes. In the case of IBM, it was about 13 years. Microsoft's was quicker...roughly, investigation started 1994, charges 1998, judgment 2002.
