And Mr. Kidrin emphasizes that “The court’s decision focused much of its analysis on claim 4 of the ‘690 patent, which was fully considered and found valid and patentable by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board in the challenges raised by Bungie in 2015.”
Mr. Kidrin adds that “Worlds has faced many obstacles while enforcing its intellectual property rights against parties such as Activision, Linden Lab, and Microsoft. Some thought Bungie’s 2015 challenges would put an end to Worlds’ patents, but Worlds persevered and each of the challenged patents emerged successfully with claims intact. Friday’s ruling is just another obstacle, and Worlds intends to continue fighting to overturn that ruling.”
On Sept 25, 2020, Worlds submits a formal filing of the Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft Corporation for patent infringement. The complaint accuses Microsoft in its Minecraft video game of infringing on their 501 Patent.
