lol, they are shocked that FORD doesn't want to pay a $4.00 patent fee on each IUP. Come on guys, you are talking about a company that removed the intake cover, that would have cost them approx $6.00 per unit to make, so they could save more money.

The hearing isn't today. Seems this fellow posted a message in another forum a few weeks back (it was him believe me) that he made an error in filing the claim and had to set a metting with ford first. After that he has to wait at least two weeks to file the claim again. The time for that metting has passed and I think if we don't see a news story of another filing, they may have reached a understanding. Let's hope this is put to bed.

It was this forum different thread. Here it is:

I believe the post you were referring to is on page 6.
I don't particularly believe it but that's JMO.

Dealer just told me my GT with IUP is scheduled to be built the 3rd week in March.
Understand that Ford is about 65,000 cars behind in building Mustangs. Orders have been that strong.....that's the reason you're waiting....not some goofy nut filing a frivolous lawsuit

If they get the injunction today will production of the IUP stop today? Who knows the law?

Alright, I'm a lawyer but don't hold it against me...And as a disclaimer: this is not legal advice and you should see a lawyer with your individual situation rather than using this synopsis of the law. So here we go...
This bonehead made the mistake of stating his damages in his complaint i.e. $4 per car. Rule #1 of injunctions is that they will only be issued where irreprable harm will result if not issued. This would happen say, if someone had a particular piece of property and then didn't want to sell it to you. Or if something was going to be destroyed and you wanted to stop it. The idea of an injunction is kind of like a "time out" because the court can't act quick enough and there is really no way to fix the situation with money, or otherwise, if the situation happens. Here, this crackpot stated his damages in dollars exactly, therefore, an injunction WILL NOT be issued. His only recourse is to sue Ford and seek a judgment of $4 per car sold without his permission, assuming he has a valid claim. I don't know anything about the validity of his claim, but I do know that he's screwed on his injunction.
So... don't hold it against me because I'm a lawyer... I still love the new Mustangs!

Thanks for the clarification Ryan. It sounds very logical to me.
If this Frank guy is an attorney also wouldn't he realize this also and know the car would still be built, or is this something of a preliminary step is filed prior to his civil suit for monetary damages.

I am from NW Ohio as well, and I have only seen one GT, and not a single V6!
