Velos Media video codec patent reexam granted

On June 27, 2023, about 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 10,390,013, owned by Velos Media, an NPE. The '013 patent generally relates to encoding syntax elements that indicate tile information into a slice header.

Unified is represented by in-house counsel Ellyar Barazesh and Jessica L.A. Marks. To view the reexamination request, visit Unified’s Portal: https://portal.unifiedpatents.com/exparte/90015239.
