Eolas pas? most of the 2000 d?cada suing Microsoft in a case that patent finally gan?. Then demand? to a multitude of companies including Google, Yahoo, Amazon, JC Penney, Perot Systems, Blockbuster, eBay, Citigroup and several m?s. Mayor?a pact? an out-of-court settlement, but Google, Yahoo, Amazon, and JC Penney remained firm, and at the end, they beat the demand.
The "patent troll" t?rmino (patent troll) may sound disparaging, but Eolas m?s or less conforms to accepted com?nmente definici?n. The signature desarroll? some tecnolog?as for interactive Web processes all? 90 a?os and since then has devoted most of his time and money to deal with demands for patents based on such tecnolog?as.
The idea is to file the complaint with the hope of the compa??as that either agree to license the tecnolog?as or pay for reaching an agreement. Due to the time and money involved in the trial of Defense, many companies simply give, convinced whether or not the legitimacy of the claims.
New demand argues that the three companies est?n infringing four patents on tecnolog?as that allow interactivity and multimedia integraci?n. Eolas was founded to protect the tecnolog?as that its founder, Michael Doyle, patents and other hab?an developed at the University of California, San Francisco.
The University emiti? a release in which se?ala which should "be paid a value just when a third party operates a for-profit University asset". A spokesman for Facebook said that the demand has no m?rito and the social network "the demostrar? en?rgicamente". Eolas has not responded to the request for comments made by Fortune.com.
By the dem?s, a Texas jury dictamin? in February that two of the four patents today dispute not ten?an validity.
After the crash, Michael Masnick, TechDirt, proclam? news site: "Web est? safe". Apparently, pec? of optimism. However, not est? clear by qu? Eolas and the University of California filed a lawsuit based in part on patents that have been invalidated.
