Hmm, I suppose if the lisence was less than the cost of continuing the trial...
Al Gore should sue them I think. -
Sony, Turbine, Jagex, Blizzard, and NCsoft named in patent infringement lawsuit
The Boston Globe has reported that Paltalk Holdings Inc. has filed a complaint in Texas against Sony Corp., Activision Blizzard Inc., Turbine Inc., NCsoft Corp., and Jagex Ltd. all for games that violate their patent on computers sharing data so that all users can see the same virtual environment. The games in question are EverQuest, World of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings Online, Guild Wars, and RuneScape (in order of the companies as named above.)
What makes this lawsuit different from the standard patent shakedowns that we've been reporting on is that the patent has already been successfully used in court. Paltalk has already sued, and won against, Microsoft.
In 2006, the company sued Microsoft over the multiplayer features included in Halo series. Microsoft took the suit to court, but ended up settling with Paltalk in mid-trial by paying an undisclosed sum of money. This win gives the lawsuit more legs to stand on, hence why Paltalk is now going after all of the industry bigwigs, including Activision Blizzard.
If you're confused as to how Microsoft settling to Paltalk gives them more credibility in court, it's because Microsoft's bow lends credit to the validity of the patents. This prior case can be used in court, making the suit hard to defend against. Turbine and NCsoft, as stated before, are also already involved in suits of their own, making legal defense trickier for these two companies. -

*waves @ Kryphoon*
How's the baby? -
Usually when that has happened that meant someone on the team had a MA arc active in their mission queue.
Not sure if they fixed that yet or not, but yeah, it would pretty much mess up any chance of the TF going right till everyone quit, they cleared their queue and reformed. -
Hi Phant!
Karo didn't leave you tied up to the bed again did she? -
Maybe people on the CEO board at Disney were big fans of Spider-man, read Brand New Day, then decided to buy out Marvel to fire Joe Quesada.

I find your avatar curiously alluring, Cai.
Does it come in a Jason Statham model? I think I found a perfect birthday present for someone.
