The in-depth prior art investigation drastically altered the trajectory of a high-profile video editing software infringement lawsuit, facilitating an out-of-court settlement.
Problems Solved
Traditionally, invalidating multimedia software patents involves scouring through social media applications. Yet, in this particular case, these usual go-to sources didn’t yield the necessary results, making it challenging to identify the specific video editing features required.
Further complicating matters was the challenge of identifying and accurately simulating the software (a probable prior art), particularly its outdated versions.
Solution Offered
The investigation went beyond the approach of relying on social media apps to solve the infringement case involving a well-known video editing software patent. Instead of relying on social media apps, the focus shifted to sifting through YouTube tutorial videos to find the specific software features in question.
The key step involved carefully examining and testing different versions of video editing software, particularly older ones that are often overlooked. This process included downloading the potential prior art and methodically checking its relevance by running it on a virtual machine.
