Nintendo's attorney (and future board member) Howard Lincoln was at first inclined to settle for $5–7 million. Eventually, however, he decided to fight, reassuring the head of the company's U.S. division, Minoru Arakawa, that this was a sign that Nintendo had made it big. On May 6, Arakawa and Lincoln met with Coleco and Universal in Los Angeles. Hadl reiterated his stance that "Donkey Kong" infringed Universal's rights to "King Kong". Lincoln countered that Nintendo had discovered many unlicensed uses of "King Kong"s name and characters and that Universal's trademark on these was less than 10 years old. In private, Greenberg tried to persuade Nintendo to sign a licensing agreement; he had not told them that he had already done so. By the end of the meeting, Hadl agreed to send a chain of title to Nintendo regarding Universal's ownership of the "King Kong" name. When this failed to materialize in the next few weeks, Lincoln prodded Universal again. They responded with more demands for royalties.
