Overview

Increasingly, re-examinatons are being used in litigation. Understanding the standards applicable to ex parte and inter partes re-examinations and the different effects of each is critical to making litigation decisions related to re-examinations. In addition, the approaches taken by courts in addressing re-examinations issues must be taken into account.

Discussion of these issues will include:
• Background on ex parte and inter partes re-examination standards,
• Statistics on re-examination results,
• District court approaches to re-examinations, and 
• Appellate considerations.
