Trouble in Patent Paradise?

Scott Lewis has gained infamy throughout the online casino gambling industry for his aggressive patent disputes over the past several years, most recently and noticeably the case against Bodog Entertainment. Scott Lewis is the CEO at 1st Technology and he has filed patent disputes against some of the top names in the online casino gambling industry – and some have even paid up. But all of his patent litigation could be short lived if the recent reports are on target, according to new information the United States Patent and Trademark Office has passed a new ruling on the 1st Technology cases that could strip the company of some of its patent rights and thus limit the patent lawsuits that the company can levy against foreign online casinos.

The case is still pending with the USPTO office but in the mean time 1st Technology is no longer able to pursue new patent disputes with online casinos. This is a huge step in a positive direction for the foreign online gambling companies that were negatively affected by the 1st Technology patent disputes. 1st Technology has won several patent disputes through default judgments because many foreign online casinos and internet gambling companies are unable to appear in US courts, which is where the patent disputes are filed.

There is no telling the outcome of this latest investigation by the USPTO but there is every indication that 1st Technology has overstepped its boundaries with some of its patent litigation. This could bode well for online gambling companies like Bodog who have consistently denied that 1st Technology is within its rights with all of the recent patent disputes, default judgments and nasty communications.
