Mark WHAT patents? I never looked, but I'm not sure that they actually have any. IF they did get any patents, and the company is defunct, and no one has bought the patents/assets, then really not much anyone is going to do. The issue isn't violating the patent, it's having the money to DEFEND the patent...and with no one monetarily backing the defense, and not much incentive for anyone to do so, not much is going to happen.
