How Likely to Win?

With the case between Bodog Entertainment, an online casinos poker gambling group and the 1st Technology internet technology company continuing, many are wondering who has the stronger hand in this situation. The President of the Alliance for American Innovation, Ronald J. Riley, recently spoke with the online gambling information site Gambling 911.com about the U.S. regulations and laws in place for patent protection in the United States. Riley is a prominent figure in the U.S. patent’s industry and he commented to the online casinos information gambling site that Ayre is unlikely to come out of this patent dispute as the winner and that he is only on a path that will multiply the amount of money his company will owe if it is taken to the courts again.

Ayre has treated this patent dispute over online casinos poker gambling technology patents as a pissing contest between himself and Dr. Scott Lewis, but Riley cautions that Ayre is not like to come out the winner. Riley comes to the situation from the point of view of a patent holder (he has five prominent U.S. patents) and with a solid knowledge of the case precedence in U.S. Riley commented on where Ayre’s latest plan to re-examine 1st Technologies current patents falls short. He notes that Ayre’s “problem is that the re-examination will make the patents much stronger if he does not successfully kill all the claims. That is unlikely. If just one infringed claim is left standing he will be in a really bad situation. Continuing to operate as usual while this drags out could expose him to punitive damages, up to three fold. Fallout from this could be the defining moment of his life."

Riley also had some interesting insight as to why 1st Technology is so protective over the company’s current online casinos technology patents. According to Riley, the patent process is quite intense and inventors are faced with frequent and often pricey setbacks while developing new inventions. Then, once the new invention has succeeded, if the inventor is faced “with egotistical, fat-headed patent pirates…we kick the living crap out of those who pirate our property.” So that is the stage that Bodog is at, 1st Technology is unlikely to drop the patent infringement case, and Bodog is has little real chance of winning.
