Thats what their patent claims, so far, some of the biggest companies, Hustler, wicked, Vivid, lodge net, and others, have signed their license agreement. After our attorney reviewed the patents, we signed it also. How long ago was this? Your attorney could have easily requested a stay on the court date until the current lawsuit against Acacia is settled (which will more than likley invalidate their patents). Its no joke, they are going after everyone, they have had the courts shut down alot of sites that refused to pay licensing fee's. Which is misleading, and almost makes it sound like Acacia acutally presented a case in their favor, which is not the case. The only time Acacia has won anything in court, was when the defendant refused to appear.... and is not "a lot" of sites, just a handful run by a few select companies. If their pantent held *any* weight, companies like Yahoo, MS, AOL, etc would be the targets. Acacia definitely seems to be pros in this area... milking a puchased pantent for all they can before the courts deem them invalid. |
