Strategic Use of Reexamination in view of the Patent Reform Bill

Last week I had the privilege of speaking on reexamination at the AIPLA Electronics and Computer Law Summit.  The title of my speech was “Strategic Use of Reexam after Patent Reform – Post-Grant Review and Inter Partes Review.”  The powerpoint presentation materials can be found here.  The materials assume that the bill currently pending before the Senate is passed substantially intact.  The speech focuses primarily on post-grant review and inter partes review.  It also touches on supplemental examination and the proposal to provide PGR-like review of “covered business methods.”  We shall see how Congress votes on the bill in September.
