I may have misinterpreted those results...having a heck of a time trying to find the percentage of reexams that go the way of the patent holder.

Please feel free to update my search....still looking.

However, I still like this:

Having said this, reexamination is hardly a panacea given that litigations are increasingly not being stayed and damage awards or settlements may need to be made prior to a final reexamination ruling, as was the case in the RIM v. NTP epic battle that ultimately had saw RIM pay more than $600 million to avoid the issuance of a permanent injunction despite continuing reexamination proceedings at the Patent Office.
