On November 12, 2025, after Unified filed ex parte reexaminations on two SVV patents, the Central Reexamination Unit (CRU) granted Unified’s request, finding substantial new questions of patentability on the challenged claims of U.S. Patent 8,740,397, owned and asserted by SVV Technology Innovations, Inc. The '397 patent generally relates to a light distribution system for display devices, more specifically drawn to a light guide member including a corrugated surface with transparent optical windows. The patent is currently asserted against Acer and ASUSTek accusing a large number of their products containing displays (i.e., laptops, tablets), and was previously asserted against Samsung and Micro-Star.
