I know that Mr F, the former CEO, still holding 99% of his shares, originally retained him. He had a great reputation then. I know he still has complete confidence in Mr Fink. The "merits" of the case will prevail. Mel

You can search the name "Fink" on the United States Patent Quarterly CD-ROM and find several of his cases. You can also search the name "Refac", a company that Mr. Fink was closely connected. I don't think you will be impressed with what you find. I'm not a patent attorney but a patent owner and I know first hand how difficult it is to enforce a patent in the courts against big companies. Most patent attorneys have this CD. I called the company at 800-372-1033 and they sent me the CD for a free 90 trial. I think we would all know a lot more if we could read the defendants' replies to Mr. Fink's last brief. I contacted Oppedahl & Larson, they said they plan to post these briefs but don't know when.
