Edit:. Extensive cross-licensing. Perhaps GF will be able to use TSMC's 7nm process?

This is often the goal of such litigation - threaten to sue in order to force licensing agreements. Overall, I feel that this is much better than each of the foundries having to forge their own paths of tech patents, and we the consumers will ultimately benefit.

Seems to imply that Global Foundries actually had good reason to sue.

Keep in mind that Forbes isn't journalism based news... they let (it seems) anyone post 'news' on there.
