Inter Partes Requests Filed the Week of December 7th
| December 17, 2009
Reexamination requests are typically reported in the Official Gazette approximately three months after filing. Such a delay in reporting requests, particularly for inter partes requests that often involve significant copending District Court litigation, is unfair. We will therefore review the Patent Office files each week to identify inter partes reexamination requests filed the previous week.
This past week, the following requests were made:
(1) 95/001,278 – U.S. Patent No. 7,332,881 owned by E-Z-GO (division of Textron) and entitled AC Drive System for Electrically Operated Vehicle. Filed by Club Car December 7, 2009.
(2) 95/001,279 – U.S. Patent No. 6,266,229 owned by Murata and entitled Multilayer Capacitor. Filed by Samsung December 8, 2009.
