On July 18, 2008 the California-based and renamed Consumer Watchdog (hereafter â??Watchdogâ?), reexamination requester of three of related Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation’s (WARF) stem cell patents, filed a Notice of Appeal in the United States Patent Trademark Office (â??the PTOâ?) relating to one of those patents. That Notice and the concurrent press release brought back to the public eye the stem cell reexamination process which was initiated in July 2006 when Watchdog filed its reexamination requests. This is to update and revisit that dispute.
