Acacia Research says it was prompted to seek a class-action assignment for its litigation against two defendants in order to "more efficiently" reach all adult entertainment companies using their claimed streaming media patents without a license.
"This fits in with our previously announced strategy of reaching all infringers," Acacia executive vice president Robert Berman told AVN Online, four days after the company filed suit against eight new defendants. The company didn't name those eight defendants but has named Global Media Resources (the parent of Python Video) and Cybernet Ventures (which includes Adult Check) as the companies they want to have represent the class, if a federal court assigns class action to the litigation.
