MLB Online Hit With Patent Suit

MLB Online Hit With Patent Suit 09/09/2004 06:33 PM
Not sure what the deal is today with companies who have been using bizarre interpretations of intellectual property to their advantage suddenly getting hit with intellectual property lawsuits. First, we had the RIAA get sued for patent infringement and now MLB Online is getting sued for patent infringement over some patents concerning the real-time display of game information online. Not surprisingly, it's a small patent hoarding company rather than a company that is actually doing any innovating. Of course, MLB.com doesn't exactly have a sparkling record when it comes to intellectual property freedom. You may recall that they wanted to stop all other sites from reporting in-game data (facts) because they seemed to believe they owned all the rights to in-game data. Of course, you can't copyright facts. Once again, though, this lawsuit is unlikely to make MLB.com realize some of the problems with the way intellectual property is dealt with these days.

TiVo wins Pause Technology patent suit

Good news for TiVo today as they won a patent suit against Pause Technology. Pause Technology has a patent on the functionality of pausing TV, buffering live TV, and catching up to live by fast-forwarding. It sounds pretty close to what TiVo does, but a judge sided against Pause. It'll be interesting to see how well TiVo does in its own patent suits against other DVR manufacturers. [thanks Scott!]

I really really really hate patents.  When it starts to effect what products do and what can get produced - it's time to stop this madness!

Google Settles Patent Suit: Wow

Google Settles Patent Suit: Wow 08/10/2004 05:29 AM

CBS MarketWatch: Yahoo, Google settle legal dispute. As part of the agreement, Google agreed to issue Yahoo 2.7 million shares of its common stock in payment for the license, according to a Google filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

So it looks like there really was something to Overture's complaint (Overture was purchased by Yahoo) that Google was infringing. The size of this settlement tells you that Google was very afraid. The quick calculations that everyone has done about the value of the settlement also tell you something about companies' claims that they can't properly value stock options on financial statements. It's only when you can hide the money from investors that it's an issue, apparently.
