"Reexamination in the US – An Effective Business Strategy"
Presented by George Wheeler through the Association of Patent Law Firms

Any U.S. patent can be reexamined at any time, by anyone who is able to show a substantial new question of patentability of one or more claims of the patent. Properly used, reexamination can be a tool for correction of patents by the patent owner, a litigation strategy to shift the decision on validity of the patent from a court to an Examiner in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or a relatively inexpensive way for a competitor to weaken or destroy others' patents without litigation, in certain circumstances. Learn more about the multiple uses of ex parte and inter partes reexamination, and pitfalls for the unwary, by participating in this APLF presentation of Reexamination Strategy.
