IBM has won its 2022 patent infringement lawsuit against Zynga.
Other games accused of infringing IBM’s copyright include
Copyright infringement and patent infringement are two different things. I’m assuming that this is actually a patent infringement case.
Patents are a form of copyright.
Parents, copyrights, and trademarks are grouped together as Intellectual Property. They’re all quite distinct however.
Nah, but they’re both forms of intellectual property.
In this case, it seems like they decided Zynga was infringing on patent US7072849B1. They managed to convince the court that Zynga’s advertising methods were too similar to what was described in that patent. Which is bullshit, as software patents shouldn’t exist, but oh well.
TIL that Zynga still exists.
