On February 23, 2024, Unified Patents filed an ex parte reexamination proceeding against U.S. Patent 8,823,826, owned by Communication Advances LLC, an NPE and entity of IP Edge. The ‘826 patent is being asserted against GM in one of IP Edge’s first litigation campaigns after three of the lawyers associated with the NPE were referred for discipline by Delaware Chief Judge Connolly for violating professional conduct rules.
The ‘826 patent is directed to digital cameras and image processing methods for digital cameras where an application is triggered when the subject’s eye-gazing direction meets an eye-gazing criterion. It has been asserted against GM.
