Inter Partes Requests Filed the Week of January 11th
| January 21, 2010
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, often involving 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. In some cases, the information available is incomplete.
This past week, the following requests were made:
(1) 95/001,294 – U.S. Patent No. 7,534,584 owned by Institute for Environmental Health and entitled MODULAR COMPOSITING-MULTIPLE LOT SCREENING PROTOCOLS FOR DETECTION OF PATHOGENS, MICROBIAL CONTAMINANTS AND/OR CONSTITUENTS. Filed January 13, 2010.
(2) 95/001,295 – U.S. Patent No. 7,509,178 owned by Personal Audio and entitled AUDIO PROGRAM DISTRIBUTION AND PLAYBACK SYSTEM. Filed January 14, 2010 by Apple.
(3) 95/001,296 – U.S. Patent No. 7,342,511 owned by CVPS and entitled DIGITAL CAMERA VALET GATE. Filed January 15, 2010 by Automated Valet Parking Manager.
(4) 95/001,297 – U.S. Patent No. 6,630,893 owned by CVPS and entitled DIGITAL CAMERA VALET GATE. Filed January 15, 2010 by Automated Valet Parking Manager.
