On June 9, 2022, Unified filed a petition for post grant review (PGR) against U.S. Patent 11,122,274, owned by Ideahub Inc., an NPE. The '274 patent generally relates to a video compression method for improving compression efficiency in directional intra-prediction. This filing is part of Unified’s continued efforts in the SEP Video Codec Zone.

Over the last 8 years, Unified is one of the top petitioners for inter partes review proceedings with over 240 petitions filed against bad NPE-controlled patents. This filing marks the second occasion that Unified has filed an early, post-grant review petition challenging a patent’s validity.
