So in reality, it makes no sense for anyone to get a patent on anything. Since anyone can ask for a reexamination at any time. (Who Can Ask for Reexamination? Anyone can request reexamination at any time during the period of enforceability of the patent.) What is wrong with this country we live in? The rules are set up in favor of the people who are doing wrong (infringers). Now I understand why no one does what is right anymore. IT DOESN'T PAY!
