Glu Files Patent Infringement Lawsuit Against Reworks Oy, Developer of Redecor
December 17 2020 - 4:05PM
Business Wire
Glu Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ: GLUU), a leading developer and
publisher of mobile games, today filed a lawsuit in federal court
alleging that Reworks Oy infringes a Glu patent relating to systems
and methods for providing competitive scene completion in a mobile
gaming application—a core feature of Glu’s widely-popular Design
Home mobile game.
Design Home is a free-to-play mobile game that brings design
dreams to life with a social and competitive twist. Players have
the opportunity to decorate living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms
and outdoor spaces with thousands of furniture and home décor items
from today’s leading brands in a visually stunning 3D
experience.
Glu owns all rights and IP associated with Design Home as a
result of its acquisition of Crowdstar in 2016. Glu has invested
substantial resources in Design Home, which has enabled the game to
captivate a global audience of highly creative players who have
downloaded Design Home more than 90 million times. The game
recently surpassed a half billion dollars in lifetime bookings,
demonstrating its leadership in the mobile casual games space.
The lawsuit alleges that Reworks’ Redecor mobile game infringes
at least one claim of U.S. Patent No. 10,504,297. Glu is pursuing a
judgment finding that Reworks has infringed Glu’s patent and seeks
injunctive relief, as well as monetary damages for past and ongoing
infringement.
“Glu is not a litigious company but given this clear patent
infringement by Reworks, we have a responsibility to file this
lawsuit—we must protect the value of our innovation and
intellectual property,” said Glu Vice President and General
Counsel, Scott Leichtner.
