Two patents cover boxes that appear outside of a screen to attract attention. DR Facebook, Google, but Apple and eBay ... All major Web companies, under attack for violations of patents in the field of online research by co-founder of Microsoft. Paul Allen, now in charge of the company since 1992 Interval Licensing, has again filed a complaint (.Pdf) Tuesday, December 28, against eleven IT firms. The procedure for Mr. Allen was actually initiated in August. The complaint was filed in federal court in Seattle mid-December but rejected by Judge Marsha Pechman, saying the document does not "identify what are the products that infringe" the patent.
However, the court had granted an additional period until 28 December to complete his complaint to INTERVAL. According to the Seattle Times, if Mr. Allen were to be successful, he could pocket more than $ 500 million (381 million). FUNCTIONS OF THE CRITICAL WEBSelon the text of the complaint, the companies implicated by Interval allegedly infringed four of its patents.
Two of them relate in particular boxes that appear outside of a screen to draw attention to a particular type of device used to indicate the arrival of a new post on some managers e-mail or arrival of a new commentary on some social networking sites. Interval also ensures that companies like Apple, eBay or Yahoo use of its system to improperly suggest users to new music tracks, products or articles online.
In the month of August, the firms in question had terminated, like the spokesman of the social network Facebook, an "action groundless."
