Umbra Tech firewall patent challenge instituted

On March 29, 2024, less than 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 10,574,482, owned and asserted by Umbra Technologies Ltd. The ’482 patent is relevant to systems using a multi-perimeter firewall in a cloud-based system. The patent has been asserted against Cisco and VMware.
