On October 18, 2024, one 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 8,407,722, owned by Intellectual Ventures I LLC, an NPE. The ’722 patent relates to remotely updating client content at client devices through digital networks. It has been asserted against JP Morgan Chase, Liberty Mutual Holding Company, and Comerica Incorporated, and accuses the use of open source software Apache Kafka.
