Pedram SameniWell, I would say, the markings on the product might be genuine but the readers may have a different assumption and as the article suggests believe that the product is still being protected.

Dan ASome great points here.
Avoiding extensions is a great point. I think having a policy to avoid too many RCEs can help as well - those fees add up.
Third party renewal suppliers give very competitive prices to large companies, but in my experience for small companies it is often cheaper to use the law firm (if the law firm has their own in-house renewals department). Law firms tend to give better service and much prompter advice and help if a renewal is missed as well.
Asking for bills to presented in a spreadsheet is such a great idea, I am surprised I haven't come across it before. Much better than using the e-billing services, such as Datacert or Tymetrix, which lock you in, can cost an arm and a leg, often crash and sometimes charge law firms as well (eventually leading to higher bills or poorer service to the client).
