A: Dear Mr or Mrs,

you are not mentioning your jurisdiction (country) but I can say for my jurisdiction its 1000% better to settle case for simple 150$ out of the court than going through whole proceedings at the court. For instance the court fees could be much higher than the actual settlement cost.

If you need any further advice in the intellectual property, contact me anytime.
