Worlds Inc. vs. Activision Blizzard, Inc. Patent Infringement
Markman Hearing Set for October
BOSTON, MA--(Marketwired - Jun 30, 2014) - The Markman Hearing
for the patent infringement suit by Worlds Inc. (OTCBB: WDDD)
against Activision Blizzard, Inc., Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. and
Activision Publishing, Inc. (Activision Blizzard et al) (ATVI), has
been set by the court for October 3, 2014. The date had been
postponed from 2013 due to another unrelated court case and a
countersuit by Activision Publishing, Inc., a subsidiary of
Activision Blizzard, Inc., against Worlds Inc. and Worlds Online,
Inc. (OTCBB: WORX) which was dismissed with prejudice in early June
2014.
"We are pleased that we can proceed with our patent infringement
case and claim construction toward an eventual trial," said Thom
Kidrin, CEO for Worlds Inc. "The Markman Hearing is a critical step
in our suit against Activision Blizzard et al as it addresses the
language and interpretation of the Worlds patents at issue in the
case."
He added, "The recent Supreme Court ruling upholding software
patents and clarifying what is patentable removes any doubts about
the validity of Worlds' patents."
