REQUESTS FILED THE WEEK OF APRIL 26TH
| May 4, 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.
Notably, ex parte requests have been filed against nine Apple patents that are the subject of Apple’s Counterclaim in Nokia Corp. v. Apple Inc., Case No. 1:09-cv-00791 (D. Del.). Nokia and Apple are involved in a series of other related District Court and U.S. ITC cases.
