On May 8, 2017, Unified filed a petition for inter partes review (IPR) against U.S. Patent 6,873,940, owned and asserted by Kamatani Cloud, LLC, a subsidiary of General Patent Corporation, a well-known NPE. The '940 Patent, which relates to a measurement service system for carrying out remote measurements or telemetry, was first asserted against Animetrics, Inc., a facial recognition technology company. The case settled promptly in September 2016.
