All Reexamination Requests Filed the Week of January 25th
| February 4, 2010
Reexamination requests are typically reported in the Official Gazette approximately three months after filing. Such a delay in reporting requests, particularly inter partes requests that often involve copending District Court litigation, is unfair. We will therefore review the Patent Office files each week to identify both inter partes and ex parte reexamination requests filed the previous week. In some cases, the information available from the Patent Office is still incomplete.
This past week, the following inter partes requests were made:
(1) 95/001,304 – U.S. Patent No. 7,406,800 owned by Andalay Solar and entitled MOUNTING SYSTEM FOR SOLAR PANEL. Filed January 27, 2010.
