In the ever-evolving world of intellectual property, challenges to patent validity are not uncommon. Whether you suspect a competitor is infringing on your patent or your intellectual property rights are being contested, reexamination can be a powerful tool in defending and reinforcing your patents. At Bilicki Law, our attorneys have extensive experience utilizing reexamination as part of a broader litigation strategy, ensuring that your patents remain strong and enforceable.
What Is Patent Reexamination?
Reexamination is a legal process conducted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to review the validity of an issued patent in light of new or previously overlooked prior art. This process allows patent holders to strengthen their patents while also providing a cost-effective alternative to litigation when disputes arise. Reexaminations can be requested by patent owners seeking to confirm the strength of their claims or by third parties attempting to challenge a patent’s validity.
