"Broaden their core patent" ??

That could be a misleading statement , JP.

Can NeoMedia/Barkume really do that?

From another board:

"Amongst the procedural limitations on the patent owner, one merits particular consideration. That is, during a reexam, the patent owner must either maintain or limit the claims. Claims may not be broadened in any way, and new claims cannot cover anything new. Thus, reexam claims cannot cover anything that wasn’t already covered by the original claims"

Where does your 'broaden' thing come from?
