Jagex games studio, UK’s largest games developer won a patent infringement case against PalTalk Holdings Inc. In September 2009, Paltalk sued Jagex, Activision Blizzard, Sony, Turbine and NCSoft after being awarded a settlement in a similar claim against Microsoft in 2009. PalTalk accused Jagex’s game RuneScape.com of infringing U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,822,523 and 6,226,686 titled “Server-Group Messaging System for Interactive Applications.” PalTalk further alleged that it had suffered damages in excess of tens of millions of dollars as a result of Jagex’s infringement of their patents. While speaking regarding the matter, the CEO of Jagex, Mark Gerhard, said “It is exceedingly unfortunate that the US legal system can force a company with a sole presence in Cambridge, UK to incur a seven digit expense and waste over a year of management time on a case with absolutely no merit.”
