On August 2, 2024, three 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 11,659,381, owned and asserted by CellSpinsoft, Inc., an NPE. The ‘381 patent, similar to CellSpinsoft’s U.S. Patent 8,904,030, is directed to uploading data to a remote server using a mobile device as an intermediary, where the data comes from a device that does not have network connectivity. It has been asserted against ByteDance.
