Worlds Files Appeal with Federal Circuit to Reverse District Court’s Decision on Validity of 3-D Virtual Worlds Online Gaming Technology Patents

Retrieved on: 
Monday, August 9, 2021

Boston, MA, Aug. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On Monday, August 2, 2021, Worlds Inc. filed its opening appellate brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, asking the Federal Circuit to reverse an adverse District Court ruling from April 30, 2021 in favor of defendants Activision Blizzard Inc., Blizzard Entertainment, Inc., and Activision Publishing, Inc. Worlds has been in litigation with the Activision defendants since 2012, with Worlds asserting infringement of its patent rights directed to three-dimensional virtual world technology and network architecture. That litigation ended when the District Court ruled that Worlds’ patents were invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 101 as directed to patent-ineligible subject matter.

Key Points: 
  • That litigation ended when the District Court ruled that Worlds patents were invalid under 35 U.S.C.
  • Among other points raised in its 53-page brief, Worlds argued that the District Courts Order incorrectly viewed Worlds patent claims as implementing the abstract idea of filtering using conventional computer technology.
  • Worlds also disagreed with the District Courts comparison of Worlds technology as a capacity limit for virtual worlds, since Worlds technology was directed to increasing, rather than limiting, the number of users who could simultaneously access the virtual world.
  • Worlds, Inc. (OTCQB: WDDD), is a leading intellectual property developer and licensee of patents related to 3D online virtual worlds.
