Worlds Inc (WDDD)

[PatentPlays]

Worlds is ready to move forward IMO. The PTAB drew the line in the sand and readily conceded the validity
of the claims in the '690, '558 and '998 patents covering the below:

4. The method of claim 1, wherein step (1b) comprises
(b)(1) determining from the received positions an actual number of the other users' avatars;
(b)(2) determining a maximum number of the other users' avatars to be displayed; and
(b)(3) comparing the actual number to the maximum number to determine which of the other users' avatars are to be displayed wherein steps (b)(1)–(b)(3) are performed by the client process associated with the first user.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein step (d) comprises
(d)(1) determining an actual number of avatars that are not associated with the client process based on the positions transmitted by the server process;
(d)(2) determining a maximum number of avatars that can be displayed; and
(d)(3) comparing the actual number to the maximum number to determine which of the avatars are to be displayed.

But would not allow any more "free expansion" to intrude on what it considered prior art are unpatentable IP. Still these claims allowed (not all listed) provide a vast opening for Worlds to expound and seek compensation on that will ulimately effect the entire MMORPG industry. Look for a statement IMO from the Company moving forward and unfreezing the Post Markman Hearing motions. Also look for a CAFC Appeal to petition Bungie as "Activision Real Party of Interest" to entirely disqualify the actions of the PTAB.
