On July 3, 2024, five weeks after Unified filed an ex parte reexamination on the fourth OptiMorphix owned patent, the Central Reexamination Unit (CRU) granted Unified’s request, finding substantial new questions of patentability on the challenged claims of U.S. Patent 7,987,285. The ‘285 patent is generally directed to adaptive bitrate media streaming (e.g., by privileging audio or video bitrate, or in response to current network conditions). It is asserted against products associated with H.264/AVC for video, AAC for audio, and products that use MPEG-DASH from Microsoft, Cisco, Amazon, and Google.
