<In fact, it is settled law that the USPTO is free to find a patent claim invalid over prior art in a reexamination proceeding even where a court has previously found that same claim valid in view of the same prior art. The different outcomes arise from differences between how the USPTO and a court consider the validity of a patent.>

I think you have that backwards. The USPTO supposedly takes the the broader view, and the courts can take a narrower view than the USPTO.

I assume that you can not offer any clarification as to your claim that Moore said something which impacts on the currect question of Talbot. Is that because your statement was erroneous?
