(a)Claims in an inter partes reexamination proceeding will be examined on the basis of patents or printed publications and, with respect to subject matter added or deleted in the reexamination proceeding, on the basis of the requirements of 35 U.S.C. 112.
(b)Claims in an inter partes reexamination proceeding will not be permitted to enlarge the scope of the claims of the patent.
(c)Issues other than those indicated in paragraphs
