Atlas Global Wi-Fi patent challenge instituted

On February 10, 2026, less than two months after Unified filed an ex parte reexamination, the Central Reexamination Unit (CRU) granted Unified’s request, finding substantial new questions of patentability on all claims of U.S. Patent 10,348,471, owned and asserted by Atlas Global Technologies, LLC, an NPE and Acacia Research entity. The ‘471 patent is generally directed to Wi-Fi apparatuses and methods for indicating the use of and providing information for a central resource unit (RU) when using channel bandwidths where the central RU is available for allocation (e.g., bandwidths of 80 MHz or greater). The patent is currently being asserted against HPE, accusing Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard features.
