Treehouse Avatar LLC sued Valve Corporation in the District Court of Delaware, alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,180,858 (“the ‘858 patent”), titled “Method and System for Presenting Data Over a Network Based on Network User Choices and Collecting Real-Time Data Related to Said Choices.” Valve Corporation moved for dismissal of the suit alleging that the ‘858 patent is invalid as directed to an abstract idea under Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank. The court disagreed, and denied the motion to dismiss.
