Worlds Inc (WDDD)

Ron Britvich LA Times 1995 article. Just some background info. Amazing how long this has been going on.

Indeed, AlphaWorld is a prime example of the kind of 3-D on-line universe that you're going to see more of in the years ahead. Already, a 3-D version of hypertext markup language (known as VRML, for virtual reality markup language) is being developed on the Internet, although Britvich says VRML is currently too static to create an environment like AlphaWorld.

Right now, the prevailing ethos at AlphaWorld is altogether laissez-faire, although the "world" actually is owned and operated by Worlds Inc., Britvich's employer and a spinoff of Knowledge Adventure, the well-known CD-ROM firm in La Crescenta.

20.In 2008-2009, I actively spent about six months searching for prior art that would potentially invalidate the Worlds patents-at-issue. I contacted the Article One Partners organization in an attempt to win the $50,000.00 bounty that they offered for invalidating prior art. However, Article One Partners rejected my attempts, and I became convinced that the Worlds patents are solid.
