Per the contract cited in the article, the father has equal rights to the embryo.
I'd wager that they're going to remain deadlocked for a good long while. Both certainly do (and should) have equal rights to the embryos, but without an agreement they're essentially in a holding pattern without end. I have a hard time imagining a court ruling for the destruction of the embryos against the father's will or allowing father to have them brought to term by a surrogate without the Mother's consent.
Sounds like scientists will be able to determine if there is an upper limit on how long they can be frozen.
