<<RE: "If someone other than the patent owner requests reexamination, it is usually because they are infringing the patent." Who is they? The owner? The individual who requests reexamination?>> "They" is the individual who requests reexamination. A patent owner doesn't care if it infringes a patent that it owns! ;-) Sometimes a patent owner requests reexamination to clear up a potential problem with the patent. In this case, it looks like "someone else" requested reexamination.
