On June 14, 2023, less than a month after Unified filed an ex parte reexamination, the Central Reexamination Unit (CRU) granted Unified’s request, finding substantial new questions of patentability on the challenged claims of U.S. Patent 8,085,845, owned by InterDigital VC Holdings. The '845 patent relates generally to hybrid video coding in a single block and has been designated as essential to SISVEL’s AV1 patent pool.
