They weren't "locked in a legal battle". Their criminal charges were dismissed within 6 months of the incident happening. What resolved recently was a civil suit they themselves brought for damages from defamation and emotional distress.
Yes, civil suits are also legal battles. There's no reason it should have taken more than a year to resolve.
By the way, I dont know who you are quoting as that is not my exact wording.
I think this is the kind of thing that sounds reasonable until the first time you've sued someone. Resolution in one year? Don't even fantasize about it.
"We" (here in W.Australia) got sued by a US company for doing math once - took six years of legal back and forth to "win", eight years out of people's lives from disruption, and essentially destroyed a company that innovated.
