Inter Partes Requests Filed the Week of December 28th
| January 7, 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) 95/001,291 – U.S. Patent No. 6,654,505 owned by Illumina and entitled SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR SEQUENTIAL PROCESSING OF ANALYTES. Filed by Life Technologies December 31, 2009.
(2) 95/001,293 – U.S. Patent No. 7,624,774 owned by Kreska Tech. and entitled PORTABLE, REMOTE, FAST-FILL INFLATOR AND NITROGEN CONVERTER UNIT. Filed December 31, 2009.
