On May 22, 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 the challenged claims of U.S. Patent 9,426,452, owned and asserted by VDPP LLC, an NPE. The '452 patent is generally directed to image processing to form a combined image from multiple video streams. It has been asserted over 20 times with active cases against Mazda, Motorola Mobility, Mercedes-Benz, NEC, HP Inc., Razer, Honda, Ricoh, GM, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Ford.
