Microsoft Sued Over Xbox Live

September 14th, 2006
hammerMicrosoft has been sued over their Xbox Live online gaming platform in a Texas district court. A company called Paltalk Holdings Inc. are suing MS for breaching their patent, 5,822,523, which covers “multiplayer games conducted over wide area networks generally involve difficult technical issues”.

Since the patent covers a wide part of online gaming and networking, there’s little chance of Microsoft ending up in trouble, Paltalk might just as well sue anyone offering online gaming. Read the patent in detail here.
