On April 16, 2020, the Board issued an order terminating IPR2020-00362 pursuant to a joint settlement request filed by Unified Patents and Zyrcuits IP LLC, an IP Edge affiliate and well-known NPE. U.S. Patent 6,671,307, related to spread-spectrum communications systems, has been asserted against various smart products that employ the Zigbee protocol in district court cases against such companies as Bosch Security, Samsung, Assa Abloy, and Wink Labs.

Unified was represented by in-house counsel Michelle Callaghan in this proceeding. View Zyrcuits' district court litigation.  To read the petition and view the case record, see Unified's Portal.
