In doing so, the Court explicitly acknowledged that the parties resolved the case with no admission of liability, stating "neither the existence of this Consent Decree nor anything contained therein shall be deemed or construed to be an admission by [Toshiba] or evidence of any liability, wrongdoing or violation of law by [Toshiba], or the truth of any of the claims or allegations contained in the complaint."
