"What a fraud the US patent system is if this new reexam is approved and winds its way around like the last one soaking up another 3 years of patent life."

Remember, if the patent(s) eventually make it through this process, and I believe they will, than we can collect infringement fees for the time they were being reexamined (for those put on notice). So I wouldn't say they are soaking up patent life, rather, more like soaking up shareholder life. LOL At least my life. I guess we can look at the bright side, that being the threat must be pretty significant for the infringers to keep throwing requests at the USPTO. Stall tactic? Most likely, at least I hope so.

I already got the board beatdown for discussing this possibility.

Beat back!

"I think the PPS would already be much lower if the reexam had a better than even chance of being allowed to proceed."

Not sure I agree, and it really is just a guess, but I think the upside (share price) if the "336 reexam request is denied is much higher than the downside if the reexam is approved. JMO

Good luck everyone.
