Dear Magistrate Judge Ericksen: We are counsel for the defendants in the above matter. Currently before the Court is our appeal of Magistrate Judge Graham' Order lifting the stay pending reexamination by the s PTO of one of the patents-at-issue, U.S. Patent No. 6,233,592. Both sides have submitted their briefs for this appeal. However, on March 28, 2008, after all the briefing had been completed, additional information became available. The PTO issued an office action in the reexamination rejecting all 58 of the claims of plaintiff' U.S. Patent No. 6,233,592. A copy s of the PTO' office action is attached. We would be happy to provide any more information s that the Court believes would be helpful. Regards, s/ David J.F. Gross David J.F. Gross cc: Joe Hosteny, Esq.
