Requests Filed the Week of February 15th
| February 25, 2010
Reexamination requests are typically reported in the Official Gazette approximately three months after filing. Such a delay in reporting requests, particularly requests that involve copending District Court litigation, is too long. We will therefore report new ex parte and inter partes reexamination requests filed the previous week as they appear on the Patent Office EFS. In some cases, the information available from the Patent Office is still incomplete.
Notable among the filings were requests filed against a University of California microscopy patent and an Isis gene expression patent.
This past week, the following inter partes requests were made:
- 95/001,312 – U.S. Patent No. 7,542,878 owned by Card Guard Scientific Survival and entitled PERSONAL HEALTH MONITOR AND A METHOD FOR HEALTH MONITORING. Filed February 16, 2010.
