Hi,

Thanks for the information. Both you and Mr. Auslander confirmed what I had originally thought.

The specific example that prompted my question involved a reissued patent that contained some of the claims of the original patent (but no new ones). Tne reissued patent thus was a more restrictive version of the original.
