The United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) provides procedures to challenge Patent Registrations in regards to validity and scope. This process is called patent reexamination or patent reexam, which includes inter-partes patent reexamination and ex-partes patent reexamination. Modernly, patent reexaminations or reexams have become a very popular avenue for attacking questionable patents as part of a Patent Infringement strategy.
As part of our Intellectual Property services, we serve our clients’ patent reexamination needs by providing an excellent Patent Reexamination practice group solely devoted to initiating and conducting Patent Reexams before the USPTO.
Our skilled Patent Reexamination Attorneys all have technical backgrounds and are often former USPTO patent examiners.
Rhema Law’s Patent Reexamination Attorneys work closely with our patent prior art search providers to carefully tailor a thorough and detailed prior art search to determine potential prior art that will create a substantial question of patentability for the disputed Patent Registration. Next our Patent Reexam Lawyers review each and every prior art to determine which will be relevant and useful in the reexam of the disputed patent and which portions of the disputed patent is susceptible to reexamination.
Lastly, our Patent Reexamination Attorneys counsel our clients on the strategy in initiating a Patent Reexam, including fees and costs associated with Patent Re-examinations which help determine which type of Patent Re-examination is best suited for the client’s goals.
