On August 23, 2023, less than two months after Unified filed an ex parte reexamination, the Central Reexamination Unit (CRU) granted Unified’s request, finding a substantial new question of patentability on the challenged claims of U.S. Patent 7,298,361, owned and asserted by IFPower Co., Ltd. The '361 patent generally relates to a non-contact inductance circuit for a power source, e.g., for use in wireless charging devices. The patent is currently being asserted against products that are Qi-compatible and/or implement the Qi standard from Apple and Samsung.
