Well it's official! Looks like Don Meeker of has effectively resigned his license to practice patent law!
Here is a link to the disciplinary action the USPTO had against him:
http://e-foia.uspto.gov/Foia/ReterivePdf?system=OED&flNm=0646_DIS_2011-04-13
I wonder if those effected (like myself) have legal recourse against him for damages directly caused by his (in)actions.
I had no clue this happened until I was checking on a patent application he filed for me and found another blog similar to this one that could only have been created by one of his "satisfied customers":
