I've heard from a Flywheel customer who's been following the case closely that the discovery phase was very damning for Flywheel – blatant theft of Peloton's corporate documents, including things like proprietary operating details, internal financials, projections, & future plans, with direction & understanding of Flywheel management/investors, feeding directly into Flywheel's plans.

So it was bigger than just a patent case, and Flywheel, caught red-handed, had no choice but to settle to Peloton's satisfaction.
