De bron van dit artikel is de mobiele website van TechCrunch. Met de knop Next is de rest van het artikel te lezen waarbij vermeld wordt dat Spotify inbreuk maakt op de patenten. De aanklacht vermeldt niet in welke zin, en hoe, Spotify de patenten schendt. Wel wordt letterlijk vermeld dat ook 'abonnees van Spotify' inbreuk maken op de patenten.
Lijkt me dus vrij duidelijk in welke zin Spotify de patenten schendt...The specific patents cited in the suit are U.S. Patent No. 7,587,508 (“Multiple Source Receiver-Driven Streaming of Content Between Peers”), U.S. Patent No. 7,590,752 (“Playing Media Content on a Media Player while Streaming the Retrieved Parts of the Media Content to Other Devices”), U.S. Patent No. 7,779,138 (“Streaming Content Between Media Players Configured to Locate Each Other”), U.S. Patent No. 8,090,862 (“Initiating an Alternative Communication Channel for Receiving Streaming Content”), and U.S. Patent No. 8,099,513 (“Streaming Content from One or More Production Nodes or Media Player Systems”).
“The Nonend Patents have been recognized as state-of-the-art, cited as prior art in at least twelve (12) U.S. patents issued to the likes of IBM, Samsung, and Sony,” the complaint notes.
