Plaintiff Suing Google Takes Literal Approach to Naming

April 22, 2023

William Shakespeare’s Juliet famously asks, “What’s in a name?”, musing that “That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet”, but in a new case filed in the Western District of Washington, the answer to “what’s in a name” is a lot—well, at least some basic information. Plaintiff US Patent No. 7,679,637 LLC has sued Alphabet (Google) (2:23-cv-00592) over the provision of its YouTube service, targeting features related to the live streaming of conferences. A single patent is asserted in the new complaint, the patent generally related to allowing participants in a web conference to observe a session in real-time, view the session in delayed form while it is still in progress, or after the session has completed.
