	<i>KSR v. Teleflex</i> decision and a host of 

other decisions have changed&nbsp;the way examiners and patent attorneys&nbsp;view 

	<i>inter partes </i>reexamination practice. Our panel includes attorneys experienced 

with&nbsp;the&nbsp;use of <i>inter partes</i> reexamination&nbsp;in both prosecution and litigation,
