After nine years of procedures, Worlds Incorporated has lost its case against Activision Blizzard.
The Massachusetts-based company was suing the publisher for patent infringement. The lawsuit was filed in 2012, with Worlds Inc. arguing that Activision Blizzard was violating fives patents it owned covering a system and method for enabling users to interact in a virtual space.
The company claimed that said system was used in World of Warcraft and Call of Duty, among others.
However, the judge ruled in Activision Blizzard s favour, saying Worlds patents were abstract ideas, PCGamesN reported. Client-server networks, virtual worlds, avatars, or position and orientation information are not inventions of Worlds but rather, their patents seek to demonstrate their use in a technological environment, US District Judge Denise J. Casper wrote in their ruling.

After nine years, judge throws out WoW patent lawsuit
After nine years, a lawsuit claiming that World of Warcraft publisher Activision Blizzard infringed on a patent held by a company called Worlds Incorporated has been tossed out by a US district court. A judge agreed with Activision Blizzard’s attorneys, saying that Worlds’ patents are “abstract ideas” that are not sufficiently transformative to be legally patentable.
Worlds Incorporated is described by its owners as “a leading intellectual property developer and licensee of patents related to 3D online virtual worlds.” In 2012, Worlds filed a complaint against Activision Blizzard, alleging that World of Warcraft and Call of Duty infringed on five of its patents, which describe various processes for organising and displaying multiple player avatars in shared 3D spaces. Worlds’ attorneys asked the court to order Activision Blizzard to cease the alleged patent infringement and award damages (as in, money) to Worlds.
