Patent and Litigation in our field

doti [ Sat Aug 01, 2015 11:24 am ]

“Teledildonics” patent used to sue six nascent cybersex companies, that's the title of this short ArsTechnica article.

A patent from 2002 is involved :
Quote:
An interactive virtual sexual stimulation system has one or more user interfaces. Each user interface generally comprises a computer having an input device, video camera, and transmitter. The transmitter is used to interface the computer with one or more sexual stimulation devices, which are also located at the user interface. In accordance with the preferred embodiment, a person at a first user interface controls the stimulation device(s) located at a second user interface. The first and second user interfaces may be connected, for instance, through a web site on the Internet. In another embodiment, a person at a user interface may interact with a prerecorded video feed. The invention is implemented by software that is stored at the computer of the user interface, or at a web site accessed through the Internet.


The lawsuits let us know the 6 current main industrial trials (see the article) ; for example the Mod !

The wiki about teledildonics disappeared a few monthes ago.

Yet another example of why computing and patents don't mix Judges give out patents for unoriginal generic ideas they don't understand (well at least judges in UK may understand a bit about kinky sex if not the computer side :lol: )

So as long as we are not controlling a stimulation device via sexscripts we are OK and will not be attacked by these leeches?

Most probably nobody will be attacked here, see
- your country
- your anonymity here, anyway (related)
- expiration (2018)
- and of course not being related to cyberdildonics

Of course probably this patent will be cancelled as bogus (novelty, non-obiousness), and TZU will sink with it.

The Milovana community is the most advanced one about teledildonics, we'll see there
