Well RED is mostly suing for their RAW video compression patents, which are just dumb an should never be allowed to be passed in the first place (and AFAIK Nikon is currently battling to invalidate that). But this is also their own problem - they haven't put almost no R&D into the software side of digital photography and videography like formats, processing. They have a nice camera which outputs 12-bit and higher images - they should be the first ones requesting and defining a new image format for consumption, which can handle that.
