On November 21, 2024, two months after Unified filed an ex parte reexamination, the Central Reexamination Unit (CRU) granted Unified’s request, finding substantial new questions of patentability on all challenged claims of U.S. Patent 10,601,780, owned by Croga Innovations, Ltd., an entity of Atlantic IP Services Limited. The '780 patent relates to a networked computer system that employs a combination of internal and external firewall mechanisms, along with virtualization techniques, to isolate secure LANs from untrusted internet sources. The patent has been asserted against IBM, Cisco, Fortinet, and Amazon.
