Local.com: More Matter, With Less (Prior) Art

I don't know, that seems like a weak argument to me. The company said that they were considering their offensive legal options on their last conference call. Clearly, management has signal that they are at least open to engaging in a costly legal battle. If the patent is in fact weak, than I think that this is relevant to consider. Given Mr. Himmelstein's experience in the industry, I think it's worth noting his dissent. If you can find a more qualified opinion, I'd be open to hearing that, but something tells me that there really is a lot of prior art that could wipe this patent out.
