In particular, in Belkin Int’l Inc. v. Kappos, the court stated:

The statutory framework thus requires that an issue must raise a 'substantial new' question of patentability, as determined by the Director, with respect to cited prior art before it can be considered during inter partes reexamination. . . . Inter partes reexamination is not totally limited to those issues suggested by the requester that present a substantial new question of patentability. Indeed, the PTO may make any new rejection, as long as that rejection also meets the substantial new question of patentability requirement. … Thus, the scope
of reexamination may encompass those issues that raise a substantial new question of patentability, whether proposed by the requester or the Director, but, unless it is raised by the Director on his own initiative, it only includes issues of patentability raised in the request under § 311 that the Director has determined raise such an issue.
