henke: It is not a reexam of the reexam.

If it was an inter partes reexam, we would know the requester. We will likely never know that for this anonymous, non-participant, ex parte reexam. That is the intention.

Requesters can file the request anonymously. This is done for any number of reasons, but it can be for positive reasons. For instance, a potential licensee wants to have the patent office review concerning prior art before they invest in the patent. The anonymity allows the requester not to worsen an existing situation or tip their hand.

It serves no purpose to guess. It simply does not matter.

And for those that insist nothing is real if they have to search Google themselves, start here: http://goliath.ecnext.com/coms2/gi_0199-3523355/Reexamination-as-a-Limited-Alternative.html
