"Eff recently successfully appealed against 97 NeoMedias patents covering the scanning of barcodes. All 97 patents were rejected after reexamination..."

Either Acratus Pty. Ltd. and or the QRMe. QR Code News editior got this wrong.

What the PTO did do in fact was to deny all 97 claims against the one and only patent under reexamination - Patent #6199048. This is standard procedure by the PTO for these types of proceedings, as it rubber stamps the entire reexam package back into the hands of the original patentholder NeoMedia for formal response.

In the interim, the EFF is permamently locked-out (enjoined) from any/all discussions with the PTO while NeoMedia actually has the ability to discuss as well as expand (broaden) their core patent from its original form; all of which Anthony Barkume, Esq. has done on Claims #1, 17, 28, 32, 36, 52, 63, 71, 87 & 92 while eliminating Claims #15, 16, 50, 51, 85 & 86 in total.

Hope this helps.

All the Best, JP
