The actual court case will drag on forever I'm sure. But their ability to force a settlement seems pretty badly hurt. It's much easier for a corporate legal department to take a wait-and-see approach, waiting for a resolution here. The perceived risk is lower.

One college student running an app ("69 Positions") already caved.
Unfortunately, it sounds like Lodsys still has most of what it needs to lean on the indie developers - the fact that the devs simply can't afford to pay for defense.
