University Sues Facebook, Wal-Mart, Disney for Patent Infringement

A University of California licensee, who has previously instituted intellectual property-related suits against some of the largest US-based firms, filed suit Wednesday against Facebook, Wal-Mart Stores, and Walt Disney for patent infringement. The case was filed Wednesday in the District Court for the Eastern District Court of Texas. Eolas Technologies and the regents of the University of California claim the firms infringed on four patents related to technologies that enable Internet browsers to host embedded interactive applications. The Tyler, Texas-based company’s chairman, Michael Doyle, previously worked at the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, where these technologies were developed. According to its website, Eolas was created by Doyle to commercialize the university’s patented technologies. The company is reportedly seeking damages in a jury trial.
