Ex parte reexamination requests increased exponentially in 2021. With a lower legal standard for institution and no requirement to identify the real party in interest, ex parte reexamination may be used as an alternative to inter partes review (IPR) or post grant review (PGR) and are increasingly being used as a second bite of the apple after denial of other post grant proceedings.
