On March 13, 2025, less than three weeks 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 10,080,024, owned by InterDigital VC Holdings. The '024 patent is directed to increasing video encoding efficiency by dividing a block of pixels into groups and using different intra-planar prediction methods for each group. The patent had previously been designated as essential to SISVEL’s AV1 and VP9 patent pools. The reexamination was filed as part of Unified’s ongoing efforts in the SEP Video Codec Zone.
