Sorry, you're wrong, Serge.

You're confusing prosecution of a patent with the enforcement of it. Prosecution is what happens during the time from the filing of the application until the granting of the patent. Once the patent is issued, it is no longer being prosecuted.

Reread all your cites and you'll see that the "Prosecution Lach Argument" deals solely with the amount of time that passed from the filing to the granting of the application, not from the time it was granted to the time enforcement of the patent was sought.
