Recently, we were contacted by Matthew Smith (at right), an associate in Foley & Lardner's Washington, DC office and an adjunct professor at the George Washington University Law School, who wanted to let us know about a treatise on inter partes reexamination that he had just completed.  Prof. Smith also wished to make the treatise available to Patent Docs readers at a very reasonable price (i.e., free); a copy of the treatise can be obtained here.  Prof. Smith mentioned that he would be interested in hearing what Patent Docs readers have to say about the treatise; comments can be sent to him at msmith@foley.com or masmith.work@gmail.com.
