The title of the post “Another 336” that is like saying a different 336

Also interesting it was validated in Federal Court litigation in the Eastern District of Texas

The reexamination process resolves a challenge started on June 16, 2004, by an anonymous petitioner

The article is dated January 25, 2007 and that means the review process took two and one half years.

The Patent Office's decision to reaffirm the validity of the '336 patent further strengthens a patent that was already found valid in Federal Court litigation in the Eastern District of Texas. In that litigation, a federal jury rejected all challenges to the patent's validity and the jury's verdict was later affirmed on appeal by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

We are pleased that National Instruments' intellectual property rights in the '336 patent have been vindicated once again before the U.S. Patent Office," said David Hugley, NI vice president and general counsel. "LabVIEW has had a revolutionary impact on scientists and engineers with its innovative virtual instrumentation approach. We have invested heavily in the intellectual property in LabVIEW and the reexamination further protects and validates our intellectual property."

The reexamined '336 patents further protects National Instruments' LabVIEW technology with 99 claims. The strengthened '336 patent continues to provide protection for National Instruments' LabVIEW technology through April 5, 2011.
