Microsoft v. i4i: Relevance of the Pending Reexamination

,----[ Quote ]
| Pending Reexamination: Microsoft has submitted its motion for a stay of 
| injunctive relief pending the outcome of its appeal to the Federal Circuit.  
| Oddly, the first sentence of Microsoft's introduction begins with a statement 
| that the PTO "already had provisionally rejected upon reexamination as 
| anticipated and obvious." By 'provisionally rejected' Microsoft means that a 
| non-final office action has been mailed out in the ex parte reexamination 
| that it requested in November 2008 (the litigation was filed in March 2007).
