Patent Reexamination - A Renaissance
,----[ Quote ]
| Given this, it is certainly no surprise the patent infringement defendants
| have been using the reexam strategy more and more. The semiconductor field
| is no different. Two well known patent enforcers in the industry, Tessera
| and Rambus have seen their patents thrown into reexam by various parties that
| are the targets of their licensing programs. Furthermore, I have also seen
| evidence that courts are willing to stay litigation if a quick reexam request
| is filed in the Patent Office, though obviously this is very judge and
| district specific.

Enforcer--Except in False Markings Public Interest Cases
,----[ Quote ]
| But meanwhile, as Mullin notes, the former Ropes & Gray partner is also
| working closely to spearhead a litigation project with an old friend, Daniel
| Ravicher of the Public Patent Foundation--who has publicly proclaimed that
| software patents hinder innovation. Garrod is helping Public Patent file
| suits to block products from carrying false patent markings.

Back-Door Maximalist Intellectual Monopolies
,----[ Quote ]
| Patents would be turned into a customs issue (whaaat?), and there would be no
| need actually to show that an infringement happened in order to start
| a "procedure".... In other words, this SECURE (and for the name, see here) is
| about extending the RIAA's intimidatory tactics to the whole of intellectual
| monopolies, and globally.

| An examination process that utilizes the expertise of the industries in which
