Paul Allen's Interval Licensing has met the deadline to file an amended complaint [PDF] with specificity. If you can read it without passing out laughing and/or having your head explode with disgust, I'd like to know what happened to you as a child that blunted your normal emotions. No wonder he didn't want to be specific. This document is Exhibit A for why software patents are an oozing pimple on the nose of the US legal system. Interval is suing because it can, and it would like to be paid by anyone using the Internet in a normal way, and it can because the US Patent Office thought it was good policy to rubber stamp stupid software patents right and left, with the idea that they could be vetted in litigation. And vetted they will be. But at what cost to the US economy? I can't believe any of these patents will survive intact. Normally, I'd ask you to look for prior art, but I see other, easier ways to toss them in the dumpster, so even if I weren't busy doing Comes v. Microsoft exhibits, I still wouldn't ask you to bother. Post any that you happen to know about, but I'm not asking unless one of the defendants specifically asks for us to do it.

INTERVAL RESEARCH CORPORATION WAS A PIONEER IN THE

TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY 14. Interval Research Corporation (Interval Research) was founded in 1992 by Paul Allen and David Liddle to perform advanced research and development in the areas of information systems, communications, and computer science. Mr. Allen, who served as Interval Researchs chairman, was one of the earliest pioneers of personal computer software. He co-founded Microsoft with Bill Gates in 1975 and later founded Vulcan Ventures in 1986. Mr. Liddle served as Interval Researchs president and chief executive officer. He was instrumental in developing fundamental technologies starting in the early 1970s when he worked at Xerox at the Palo Alto Research Center. 15. Starting with Mr. Allen, Mr. Liddle, and a handful of scientists and inventors, Interval Research evolved into one of the preeminent technology firms. It employed over 110 of the worlds leading scientists, physicists, engineers, artists, and journalists, and was at the forefront in designing next-generation science and technology. 4 16. In addition to the research that Interval Research conducted, it also provided funding and assistance for other projects. For example, Interval Research served as an outside collaborator to and provided research funding for Sergey Brin and Lawrence Pages research that resulted in Google. Indeed, a Google screenshot dated September 27, 1998 entitled About Google! identifies Interval Research in the Credits section as one of two Outside Collaborators and one of four sources of Research Funding for Google. See Sept. 27, 1998 Website About Google! attached as Exhibit 1. 17. Mr. Brin and Mr. Page also recognized Interval Researchs funding in the Acknowledgements section of their 1998 research article entitled Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine in which they present Google. 18. As a testament to Interval Researchs innovation, it was issued approximately 300 patents in less than a decade. Four of those patents are the patents-in-suit. 19. Interval Licensing LLC owns the patents-in-suit. The company is owned and controlled by Mr. Allen. INFRINGEMENT OF U.S. PATENT NO. 6,263,507 20. On July 17, 2001, United States Patent No. 6,263,507 (the 507 patent) was duly and legally issued for an invention entitled Browser for Use in Navigating a Body of Information, With Particular Application to Browsing Information Represented By Audiovisual Data. The 507 patent describes an invention that enables a user to efficiently review a large body of information by categorizing and correlating segments of information within the body of information and generating displays of segments that are related to the primary information being viewed by the user. Interval was assigned the 507 patent and 5 continues to hold all rights and interest in the 507 patent. A true and correct copy of the 507 patent is attached hereto as Exhibit 2. 21. Defendant AOL has infringed and continues to infringe one or more claims of the 507 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271. AOL operates many websites that provide articles, videos, advertisements, and other types of content to users. In order to help users find additional content items that may be of interest, the software and hardware that operate the websites compare the available content items to determine whether they are related. When a user views a particular content item, the AOL websites generate displays of related content items so as to inform the user that the related content items may be of interest. For example, as demonstrated by Exhibit 6, when a user views a particular news article on the AOL News website, the website displays both the article (identified by the red box) and links to other related news articles (identified by the green boxes). Similar functionality is used by many websites that are owned and operated by AOL, including AOL Answers, Asylum, Auto Blog, Aol Autos, Big Download, BlackVoices, The Boombox, The Boot, Cambio, Cinematical, Citys Best, Comics Alliance, DailyFinance, Engadget, Fanhouse, Flea Flicker, Gadling, GameDaily, Games.com, AOL Health, Holidash, Housing Watch, AOL Find a Job, Joystiq, JSYK, Aol Kids, Kitchen Daily, AOL Latino, Lemondrop, AOL Lifestream, AOL Mail, Marlo Thomas.com, Massively, MMA Fighting.com, Moviefone, AOL Music, My Daily, AOL News, NoiseCreep, Parent Dish, Patch, Paw Nation, Politics Daily, PopEater, AOL Radio, AOL Real Estate, Rented Spaces, AOL Seed, ShelterPop, AOL Shopping, Shortcut$, SHOUTcast, Slashfood, AOL Small Business, Spinner, Stylelist, Switched, AOL Television, Tourtracker, AOL Travel, Truveo, Tu-Voz, Tuaw, TV Squad, URLesque, AOL Videos, WalletPop, Winamp, and WOW.com. Although the types of 6 content (e.g., articles, videos, recipes, emails, product information, advertisements, etc.) may vary from website to website, each website performs the function described above namely, comparing content items to determine whether they are related and displaying those related content items. The hardware and software associated with the AOL websites identified above and any other AOL websites that perform this function infringe at least claims 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 27, 28, 31, 34, 37, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 70, 71, 74, 77, and 80 of the 507 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271. 22. Defendant AOL operates the AOL Spam Filter as part of its AOL Mail website and service.

For example, as demonstrated by Exhibit 7, when a user views a particular music album on iTunes, the 7 iTunes system displays both the selected music album (identified by the red box) and links to other related music items (identified by the green boxes). The hardware and software associated with the Apple websites and systems identified above and any other Apple websites and systems that perform this function infringe at least claims 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 27, 28, 31, 34, 37, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 70, 71, 74, 77, and 80 of the 507 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271. 24.

The hardware and software associated with the Google websites identified above and any other Google websites that perform this function infringe at least claims 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 27, 28, 31, 34, 37, 38, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 70, 71, 74, 77, 80 and 81 of the 507 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271. 27.

Defendants infringement of Intervals exclusive rights under the 652 patent will continue to damage Interval, causing irreparable harm for which there is no adequate remedy at law, unless enjoined by this Court.
