Disney Sued by Three Brothers in Wristband Clash

2017/02/28

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Worldwide and Disney Online have been sued by three US-based brothers over wristbands.
The products, called MagicBand, can be used to access the parks and purchase goods at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.
Bryan, James and Charles Freeny III sued Disney at the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Eastern Division on February 24.
The suit concerns US patent number 6,490,443, called “Communication and proximity authorisation systems”, which Disney is alleged to have infringed through the MagicBand.
The Freeny brothers asked for a permanent injunction against Disney, damages, pre- and post- judgment interest, costs, attorneys’ fees and a jury trial.
