IBM Resolves Dispute With Take-Two On Internet Technology Patent
The two entities stated dismissing the claims with prejudice, meaning they cannot be refiled
IBM and video game maker Take-Two Interactive has apprised the US District Court for the District of Delaware that IBM is dismissing its lawsuit accusing Take-Two of violating its patent rights in internet-related technology.
In September last, Armonk, New York-based IBM alleged that a Take-Two game launcher and versions of its popular NBA 2K, Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption games infringed IBM patents related to web advertising, virtual worlds and user authentication.
IBM had targeted other companies with infringement claims over similar technology, some of which were developed for its late-1980s internet service Prodigy.
It has resolved separate lawsuits against Zynga, Chewy, Groupon and Rakuten.
IBM's lawsuit against Take-Two said that the companies discussed the alleged infringement since 2021. Early this year, IBM invited Take-Two to discuss a licensing resolution.
