Gaikai being sued for patent infringement by T5 Labs
10/11/12 4:00pm
When Sony purchased Gaikai for $380 million, I suppose they felt it was an easy way to get into the cloud gaming space without all that expensive R&D. T5 Labs shattered that image by claiming that Gaikai has “committed and continues to commit acts of infringement” in a Delaware court. The same patent T5 tried to sue OnLive over in 2011. Here is the official indictment:
“Gaikai actively, knowingly and intentionally induces infringement of the patent by making, using, offering for sale and selling use of Gaikai’s GPU cloud with the knowledge that its customers and end users will use the Gaikai GPU cloud and with the knowledge and the specific intent to encourage and facilitate the infringing sales and uses of Gaikai’s GPU cloud through the creation and dissemination of promotional and marketing materials, instruction manuals, product manuals and technical materials”
T5 is seeking monetary compensation for past damages and all future activity. Sony refuses to comment and KB might have just gotten a free pass. The lawyers are going to be mighty busy with this one.

An ingenious masterpiece, Corals at Keppel Bay rises like an ascending symphony of chords, with its soaring towers and low-rise villa-styled apartment blocks. The alternating heights and double curvature of the towers create a unique interplay of changing light planes and reflecting angles, presenting a spectacular sight at every turn. corals keppel bay

Over the past year (actually, a lot longer than that), G4 has been slowly dying. There were the endless marathons of Cops and Cheaters that many people got sick and tired of Edlin

Yeah... this isn't going to be that long of a suit. It's going to end faster and be more on Gaikai side. Sorry T5, but I don't see this going in your favor.
