Crews have long lived in the shadow of their skippers, and I applaud Carol Cronin's continuing efforts to effect change. The Sailing Source explains that this document will be presented to the judge Friday morning. North's arguments do not justify lifting the injunction or granting a stay. Even worse, in a desperate attempt to avoid the injunction, North makes demonstrably incorrect assertions in its appeal to a court of equity. No court of conscience should respond to such assertions.
North presents no new argument.
Its arguments have been properly rejected by this Court. Indeed, it continues to rely on arguments that are directly contrary to non-controversial, binding precedents of the Federal Circuit. This is the sure sign of an infringer arguing a hopeless cause. It is not the presentation of a party making a showing of strong likelihood of success on the merits. North built the Minden plant in late 1994, several years after it was notified that it was infringing the patents and long after this lawsuit was filed.
