Reexamination allows a party to request that the Patent Office reexamine an already-granted patent on the basis of patents and printed publications that raise a substantial new question of patentability. We maintain a dataset currently of design patent reexamination proceedings filed since 2012 and of 184 outcomes, patentability is confirmed 46% of the time, compared to patentability confirmed 28% of the time for instituted IPR and PGR proceedings.
