SOu812, Time frame for the conclusion of Reexamination proceedings: The Director approves the findings and issues a Reexamination Certificate to the patent owner by mail and also mails a copy to the requestor of reexamination. The Reexamination Certificate to be issued by USPTO includes : all amended claims and 8 new claims that were allowed.

Also the Director will publish the Reexamination Certificate in the Official Gazette when they mail the Certificate to the owner (VPLM). Maybe 2-3 weeks for these official steps, in time for the RBR trial vs. AMZN in May 2024 (?). Heard AMZN just filed for stay again! Funny!

(Who was the Requestor? None other than Twitter!!! The IPR route did not work for them. 36 IPR wins out of 36! Some may recall TWTR attorney vehemently objecting at the Fed Cir Appeals hearing while Mr. Hudnell appeared the first time. Now TWTR got a stronger RBR patent as a gift from us!)

Personal experience did not involve reexamination, but communications between inventors and Patent examiners are similar and the steps are usually favorable to inventors since inventors have more knowledge about the invention.

Patent reexamination is not an IPR involving PTAB panel of judges where two parties have a dispute about certain claims.

The Certificate will look like the reexamined patent with amended claims and the new claims, with the same patent number,
patent number US '606 C1,
Certificate issued: November 25, 2023 (made up date)

Wish the company decides to get the patent re-issued. The re-issued patent will be considered a reexam certificate.
