On August 18, 2022, less than two months 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 7,233,790. The patent is owned and asserted by VideoLabs Inc., an NPE. The '790 patent is directed to video-on-demand systems that allow content providers to distribute the correct format of digital content to different devices. It has been asserted against Netflix. This reexamination filing is part of Unified's ongoing efforts in its SEP Video Codec Zone.
