Ex-Parte Reexams Drop After Fintiv Change but Still Seen As Useful

Director Michael D. Specht was quoted in the article “Ex-Parte Reexams Drop After Fintiv Change but Still Seen As Useful,” published by Managing IP.

“Michael Specht, co-chair of the patent litigation practice at Sterne Kessler in Washington DC, points out that there’s no page limit to ex-parte reexam requests.

He says parties can take a ‘kitchen sink approach’ and include 10 grounds of invalidity to create more issues for patent owners.”
