Gaming Litigation

The video game industry is undergoing a revolution resulting in a wave of litigation. Console based gaming is shifting from a unit sales model to a licensing and digital distribution model. The accessibility of online games and iPhone apps has led to fierce competition between social gaming companies. Copyright and patent infringement is widespread across social media platforms. Virtual currency usage in social media gaming has caused disputes involving payment processors and user property rights. The interactive gaming industry is global and, as such, procedural problems such as jurisdiction and venue often present complicated legal questions.
