On April 9, 2025, 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 the challenged claims of U.S. Patent 8,098,153, owned and asserted by Lattice Technologies LLC, a Jeffrey Gross entity. The ‘153 patent relates to an emergency response system that cycles through contacts in an order of priority until reaching someone. They have asserted this patent against at least a dozen companies including Alarm.com, Alert360, Amazon, Comcast, and Vivint.
