BT and Valve Patent Clash Dismissed

2017/08/17

A judge has dismissed a patent infringement lawsuit between UK telecommunications company BT and games developer Valve. Valve’s distribution platform for video games, Steam, is the largest in the world. According to the claim, Valve’s Steam Library, Steam Chat, Steam Messaging and Steam Broadcasting had infringed the patents. Filed at the US District Court for the District of Delaware, the suit alleged that BT had notified Valve of its infringing conduct and requested the games developer enter into discussions with it. On August 11, District Judge Leonard Stark ordered the dismissal of the case. The infringement claims raised by BT and Valve’s counterclaims were dismissed with prejudice. Each party will bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs.
