Shares of Worlds Inc (NASDAQ: WDDD) and MGT, Inc.(NASDAQ: MGT) are expected to be impacted by their upcoming Markman hearings due this month in Federal court. Worlds is fighting Activision Blizzard(NASDAQ: ATVI) and MGT is pitted against Aruze Gaming. In a Patent Plays exclusive interview, Thom Kidrin CEO of Worlds, Inc., commented that there was much history between Worlds and executive leadership of Activision Blizzard. Kidrin also recounted that Activision formally rebuffed a patent license from Worlds several years ago. Worlds, Inc. is seeking damages for willful infringement of its MMORPG patents covering such Activision titles as Call of Duty, and World of Warcraft. MGT is fighting for its slot machine patents against casino giant Aruze Gaming America. MGT notably dropped its patent infringement action against WMS Gaming, Inc. with no explanation why.
