I was very impressed with Rick’s analysis and his ability to distill the complicated issues into what mattered most, focusing on likelihood of success (or in this case unlikelihood of success) for each claim, and what our options for next steps might be. I sometimes find that to be a difficult task for IP lawyers, but Rick did it very well.
