2255 Who Reexamines

The examination will ordinarily be conducted by the same patent examiner in the Technology Center who made the decision on whether the reexamination request should be granted. See MPEP § 2236.

However, if a petition under 37 CFR 1.515(c) is granted, the reexamination will normally be conducted by another examiner. See MPEP § 2248.
