As for revenues Max Tribble has already stated that the ruling by Judge Casper to limit the amount of years that can be claimed under this infringement is appealable. Judge Casper is only allowing the claim against Activision to go back a few years. Also if you read patent law you will discover that if an error by the Patent Office causes a patent holder to loose the benefit under the patent, due to an error made by the Patent office, then; the patent holder is entitled to have the lost years applied to the end of the patent. In this particular case Worlds was denied the benefit by Judge Casper limiting the years despite the fact that the Patent Office has already, in writing, admitted there error.

Please do not forget that Max Tribbles firm spent nine months researching this case before they decided to represent Worlds....on contingency. He has every professional and personal selfish motive to do everything in his power to make this a success. The key to all of this is for counsel to follow the process to the letter and wait.

On another note two weeks ago additional evidence was allowed to be provided to the court under seal. Presumably to prove Worlds coding was used in these games. Now additional titles are being allowed to be added to the infringement claims.

If you can connect the dots my conclusion would be that Judge Casper would not allow these additional items if there was not something of substance contained within that should be considered by a jury.

The 6 years I mention was related to Patent law, not Judge Casper previous ruling. I've always assumed that her decision would be appeal and fought vigorously as it a noose around WDDD ability to consult settlement talks with any organization.

Basically the patent covers online communication through 3-d avatars. My approach to identifying targets was two folds: "fighting/shooting" and sports games. Sorry I can not provide you a comprehensive list but my target list include for consoles:
Mircosoft studios (halo) Sony online entertainment (Socom), EA (Battlefield, medal of honor, Fifa, Nhl, Sims, Madden), Take Two ( Grand Theft Auto 5, NBA2K), Ubisoft (Assassin Creed)

PC games: DOTA 2, Starcraft 2 and League of Legends.

Of course the console manufactures Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo , as they get a piece of the revenue from the sale of the games and they provide server support. If they really want to push it, they can go after Steam as well.

Certainly there are other offenders and some of the targets on my list might not be pursed for some reason or another. Worlds patent is at the core of modern gaming. There are a lot of people with deep pockets that does not want this company to succeed. Keep in mind WDDD would only be eligible for US revenue so worldwide sales does not mean anything.
