Litagation Kings?
Wired VC has recently posted a very interesting article criticizing Walker Digital, a company that has filed patent infringement suits against many giants on the digital technology scene, “In total, 15 suits have been filed against more than 100 defendants, including Microsoft, eBay, Amazon, Facebook, WalMartGroupon, Apple, Sony and Google.” Wow that’s what I have to say.
Jay S Walker, the founder of Walker Digital, also the founder of priceline.com, Synapse and numerous other successful companies, is the lead inventor on a majority of the company’s patents and applications, more than 400 issued and pending US and foreign patents. Wired VC points out that many of these patents fall under the category of business practices, for example reward cards. Photo: Don Farrall/Getty Images
