BT Files Patent Infringement Lawsuit Against Valve | Rock, Paper, Shotgun

'British Telecommunications (BT) have filed a lawsuit against Valve claiming patent infringement. '

'The Buckley Patent is the one which BT say relates to Steam Broadcasting. '

'It’s also just interesting from a logistical point of view if you want to know how aspects of Valve’s Steam platform work. '

'It specifically mentions that Valve “offers a broad range of products and services which incorporate technologies invented by BT. These include, inter alia, Valve’s Steam Library, Valve’s Steam Chat, Valve’s Steam Messaging, and Valve’s Steam Broadcasting.” It states that BT has notified Valve of the alleged infringement on multiple occasions and has requested discussions to address the issue, giving a licensing arrangement as one possible option. '

'I’ve sent Valve a request for an official response or comment so I’ll add one in if they respond. '
