On July 27, 2021, just three weeks after Unified filed an ex parte reexamination, the USPTO granted Unified’s request, finding substantial new questions of patentability on the challenged claims of U.S. Patent 8,103,213. Formerly owned by the Nokia Corporation, the ‘213 patent is currently owned by WSOU Investments, LLC and has been asserted against NEC in the Western District of Texas.

Unified is represented by Eric Buresh and Chris Schmidt from Erise IP and by in-house counsel, Ashraf Fawzy and Jung Hahm, in this proceeding.
