I particularly like this part of the letter (in bold)
"Beginning in 2007, a series of reexaminations was initiated against four key patents in the MMP™ Portfolio (the ‘148, ‘336, ‘584 and ‘749). As we have stated previously, this is a time-consuming, detailed process that can take several years. No one can forecast the progress, or the eventual outcome, of the re-examination processes, but we remain optimistic for a variety of reasons, including those outlined in Dr. Choate’s paper with a link, included in my June 16, 2008 letter to the shareholders, which can be found on Patriot’s website."
Variety of reasons?
- German Validation
- 52 or so licensees
- Donald Shrock
- Exparte re-exam
