"Law360, Washington (April 18, 2016, 9:28 PM ET) -- Cuozzo Speed Technologies LLC continued its bid to convince the U.S. Supreme Court to change the claim construction standard used in inter partes reviews, arguing on Friday the proceedings are not an extension of the patent examination process.'

More fuzzy comments of what an IPR process is....

Lets not forget that claims construction regarding e.Digitals 8311522 patent (the mother ship) is not about claims construction.

The PTAB stated, that claims construction is not necessary and the focus is on other....or prior art issues.

specifically...Miluzzo in view of Robarts.

IMVHO, in our case regarding prior art ...the proceedings are an extension of the patent examination process.

If one would word it in that fashion...

As prior references and examination of them... are a basic process of the origional patent prosecution....more examination of prior art.... is an extension of the patent prosecution.
