The settlement was regarding patents. From your link:

Last year a judge ruled in Fitbit's favor, stating that "no party has been shown to have misappropriated any trade secret." The fight rumbled on over some patents, but now it's all over, as Fitbit announced in a statement.

It started as a trade secrets case that was dismissed and Jawbone tacked on patents and that was settled. Full disclosure, I work at Fitbit. Since we are not a party to this new case I can at least talk about the public info with the old one!
