Lawsuit involves the following patents (Thanks, IJ!):

patft.uspto.gov

patft.uspto.gov

patft.uspto.gov

patft.uspto.gov

patft.uspto.gov

These are, indeed, the ones concerning metastatic disease imaging using GFP, the last being somewhat differently titled.

As noted before (in post #15) several of these patents even reference a Contag/Stanford patent. It is my guess that this is the one that is up for re-examination.

I still think AntiCancer will have a difficult time with this case, looking at what prior art I can find. I'd love to get a second opinion.

Again, since they don't seem to be selling many of their systems, AntiCancer has little to lose -- except legal fees -- even if their own patents here are ruled invalid. Xenogen has stated that path is part of their strategy in contesting this issue, and it seems a plausible outcome.

Cheers, Tuck
