____________________1 Marine Polymer Techs., Inc. v. Hemcon, Inc., No. 2010-1548, 2011 U.S. App. LEXIS 19602 (Fed. Cir. Sept. 26, 2011). 2 Bettcher Indus. Inc. v. Bunzl USA, Inc., No. 2011-1038, 2011 U.S. App. LEXIS 20027 (Fed. Cir. Oct. 3, 2011). 3 Section 252 creates intervening rights with respect to reissued patents. Sections 307(b) and 316(b) state that section 252 applies to patent claims that issue from either ex parte or inter partes reexamination. 4 35 U.S.C. §§ 252, 307(b), 316(b). 5 Marine Polymer, 2011 U.S. App. LEXIS 19602, at *13. 6 35 U.S.C. §§ 252, 307(b), 316(b). 7 While Marine Polymer considered arguments made in an ex parte reexamination, its holding should apply equally to inter partes reexaminations (and to reissue proceedings). 8 Marine Polymer, 2011 U.S. App. LEXIS, at *13. Judge Lourie would have held that intervening rights do not apply unless the language of the claims is changed in reexamination. Id. at *28–*29 (Lourie, J, dissenting). 9 Id. at *16. 10 Id. at *8–*9. 11 Id. at *22–*23. 12 Id. at *25–*26. 13 The inter partes review provisions of the AIA, 35 U.S.C. §§ 311–319, are in effect as of September 16, 2012. The post-grant review provisions of the AIA, 35 U.S.C. §§ 321–329, take effect on September 16, 2012 and, except for business method patents, apply to patents issuing from applications filed March 16, 2013 or later. The AIA left the relevant ex parte reexamination provisions unchanged. See Pub. L. 112-29 Secs. 3(n)(1), 6(f)(2)–(3); USPTO, America Invents Act: Effective Dates, Oct. 5, 2011, available at http://www.uspto.gov/aia_implementation/aia-effective-dates.pdf. 14 35 U.S.C. § 318(c) (inter partes review) and § 328(c) (post-grant review). 15 35 U.S.C. § 315(c). 16 Bettcher Indus., 2011 U.S. App. LEXIS 20027, at *45. 17 Id. at *10–*11, *45. 18 35 U.S.C. §§ 315(e) (inter partes review) and 325(e) (post-grant review). 19 35 U.S.C. §§ 318(a) (inter partes review) or 328(a) (post-grant review). 20 35 U.S.C. §§ 319 (inter partes review) or 329 (post-grant review). 21 35 U.S.C. §§ 315(e) (inter partes review) and 325(e) (post-grant review).
