Disney, Hulu, and Netflix Added to WAG Acquisition’s Streaming Campaign
WAG Acquisition, L.L.C. has expanded its over decade-long litigation campaign with suits against Disney (Disney Streaming Services (DSS) (2:21-cv-08230) and Hulu (2:21-cv-08242) in separate suits, both in the Central District of California, and Netflix (6:21-cv-01083) in the Western District of Texas. The three patents-in-suit, asserted in overlapping sets, are broadly directed to media streaming. The plaintiff targets “pre-recorded and live programming, delivered to desktop, tablet, smartphone, smart TV, streaming stick, and other streaming device and media player platforms”, calling out, respectively, the Disney+, Hulu, and Netflix streaming platforms. This family of patents, now numbering over a dozen, has been in litigation (at least some of it funded by the litigation finance firm Woodsford Litigation Funding Limited) since February 2007.
