On March 31, 2023, the PTAB confirmed the examiner’s rejection of all claims in the ex parte reexamination of U.S. Patent 7,515,635, owned by IP Bridge. The patent is claimed to be essential as part of the Access Advance patent pool, as well as SISVEL’s VP9 and AV1 patent pools. This was an appellate decision by the PTAB agreeing that all claims are unpatentable.
Unified was represented by Theodoros Konstantakopoulos of Desmarais LLP and in-house counsel, Roshan Mansinghani and Jessica L.A. Marks, in this proceeding. To view any documents for the reexamination proceedings, visit https://portal.unifiedpatents.com/exparte/90014645.
