On June 24, 2025, five 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 9,031,537, owned and asserted by Mesa Digital LLC, an NPE and entity associated with Ortiz & Lopez, PLLC (d/b/a OL PATENTS). The ‘537 patent is directed to an electronic wireless handheld multimedia device that is capable of bidirectional communication with a remote resource for electronic materials over cellular, wireless LAN and Bluetooth networks, after accepting a passcode by a user, along with a touch sensitive display screen. It has been asserted against over 75 defendants, including Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Apple, HTC, LG, Gen Mobile, Nuu, and BLU Products.
