Where can I find information about the former inter partes reexamination practice?
If you’re looking for information about the former inter partes reexamination practice, you can refer to the 9th Edition of the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP). As stated in MPEP 2631, “Guidance on the former practice is available in the 9th Edition of the MPEP.“
It’s important to note that this information is now primarily of historical interest, as inter partes reexamination has been replaced by inter partes review. For current post-grant review procedures, you should consult the latest edition of the MPEP and the USPTO’s resources on Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) proceedings.
