If the expiration was UNINTENTIONAL - then you have two years from the expiration date to seek revival of the patent. UNINTENTION means just that - you did not intend to have the patent expire. Maybe there was a record keeping mistake. Maybe someone who did not understand the situation ignored the reminder from the Patent Office. Maybe you never received the reminder because you moved. Check out the revival form at www.uspto.gov. Act quickly. GOOD LUCK!
