Worlds Inc (WDDD)

[DataStream]

Louis, if the reasoning you are ascribing to Worlds is that filtering techniques were well known and thus obvious, I would counter that no prior art addresses avatar filtering within a field of view anywhere solely or in combination and in particular no references to 3D avatars in anything the PTAB has under review.

The PTAB and Appellate courts would have to find prior art, which by law they are prohibited from doing.

Of course both tribunals can do as they please but have to craft a very cogent rationale.
