There is no stopping Paul Allen in reinforcing and re-filing his patent suits against the biggest in the industry; after all, he is the co-founder of Microsoft’s formidable organization that introduced Bill Gates to the world. He claims exclusive rights on various technologies being utilized by many software and electronics companies including his version of recommendation engines, notification systems, and more.

In an article read on SiliconAngle, following his initial lawsuits that were thrown out of vagueness, Allen seemed like more elusive in chasing companies like Apple, Google, Facebook, OL, Netflix, Yahoo, eBay, YouTube, Office Depot, Office Max, and Staples. The same report also noted that “Allen claimed Apple, Google, Facebook, Yahoo, AOL, eBay, Office Depot, Office Max, Staples and Netflix, representing Microsoft’s claim of having had infringed patents, which were developed by the Interval Licensing company during the ‘90s.”

Features of the said allegations filed by Allen before the courts of law include: “Browser for Use in Navigating a Body of Information, With Particular Application to Browsing Information Represented By Audiovisual Data”, “Attention Manager for Occupying the Peripheral Attention of a Person in the Vicinity of a Display Device”, “Attention Manager for Occupying the Peripheral Attention of a Person in the Vicinity of a Display Device” and “Alerting Users to Items of Current Interest.”

In response to Allen’s accusations, Apple has joined forces with Google to form a team that will face the genius’ suits.  Another story in SiliconAngle captured the statement of an Apple representative on this issue: “Interval has sued eleven major corporations and made the same bald assertions that each defendant infringes 197 claims in four patents. As the U.S. Supreme Court noted in Twombly, it is in this type of situation in which courts should use their ‘power to insist upon some specificity in pleading before allowing a potentially massive factual controversy to proceed.”

Another report from ZDNET has noted the specifics of what Paul Allen is going to harvest should he win the cases: “If Allen wins this suit, analysts believe that he could win as much as half a billion dollars. To a billionaire who goes around building music museums, it seems as though there would need to be more at stake than a mere $500 million to bother going after the likes of Google, Apple, and Staples. This seems like it’s more about the future of the Web (including the mobile Web and Microsoft’s biggest competitor) than it is about YouTube and iTunes content recommendations.”
