WHAT IS PATENT REEXAMINATION?

Cancel a competitor’s patent

A competitor has a patent that is possibly stopping you from making that invention. Ask the US Patent Office to take a second look to see if it deserved a patent to begin with. We may be able to convince the Patent Office the patent should never have been granted.
Few Steps Involved

You tell the patent office to take a second look and the patent office takes over most of the rest. You need to provide reasoning for why you believe the patent should be cancelled, but you do not need to argue back and forth with the patent owner.
Stay Annonymous

You can stay annonymous if you would like so the patent holder doesn’t know who the bad guy is.
