What is A Reissue Patent Application? 


A reissue patent application is filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to correct an error in the patent, where, as a result of the error, the patent is deemed wholly or partly inoperative or invalid.  Although there are many reasons errors in the patenting process arise, the reissue and reexamination procedures of the USPTO are valuable tools to strengthen their patent portfolio or strategically weaken those of competitors.  Not only does a reissue allows patent owners to correct errors in U.S. patents, but it allows allows any third party to test the validity of a U.S. patent.
