It was more a question of timing. I don't think anyone involved thought that the extent of Grumman's claims is justified, but AFAIK they got in touch with Ubi shortly before release of PF so they caught everyone on the wrong foot. Checking Grumman's claims would have cost time, time that Ubisoft either didn't want to spend or didn't have (for it would cost a lot of money to hold the release machinery). Had that happened months earlier then I'd bet that a judge would have told Grumman where to shove its claim (keyword: dark and smelly place, no sun).
