Mostly accurate, but I understand the source of the confusion. "Winning" would have met having all claims affirmed, but this happens only 25% of the time. Have the claims modified or canceled is the most common (64%) outcome of a reexamination. Very rarely is a patent canceled. The Barkume "case study" is a very bizarre fix for the original, grammatically-challenged press release which did claim that all claims were affirmed. "All ninety-five claims of th [sic] is Barcode Lookup Patent have been confirmed as being patentable by the PTO." neom.com Confusion over the likely outcome of a reexamination took a toll on share price. The lesson is for NeoMedia to stay away from patent challenges - whether in court or the USPTO. If the '048 patent goes in front of a jury, any IP lawyer will tell you the outcome is statistically less desirable than a reexamination. It is important to note that at no time did NeoMedia lose the right to exercise their rights under the '048 patent.
