    CVI Countersues Acacia - Seeks Class Action

    Just saw this on www.allofem.com:

    Cybernet Ventures, parent company of Adult Check, has filed a countersuit and class action suit against Acacia. The suit in part responds to Acacia's claim by detailing instance by instance that they "deny each and every allegation contained in the Complaint". In the counterclaim Cybernet "seeks a declaratory judgement of invalidity, noninfringement and unenforaciblity" on Acacia's streaming media patents. The full text of the document is supplied by All Of 'Em and can be read here in Adobe Acrobat format: http://www.allofem.com/CybernetAcacia1.pdf

          Acacia is going to end up in the shitter by the time its all over.

          They messed with the wrong people when they figured adult would be a bunch of lay downs.

              SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                                                  we could only hope, but don't forget they have lasted on the whole V-chip deal.. that's been going on about 10 years hasn't it?

                                                                  http://www.allofem.com/CybernetAcacia1.pdf

Cybernet does demand a jury trial, denies all liability for infringments and sets forth 15 affirmative defenses. The counterclaims are pretty much pro-forma. You have to assert any counterclaims in your Answer, or else waive them. These can be amended later. Basically, Cybernet is asking for equitable relief from further harrassment, attorneys fees, and any other equitable remedies deemed fit by a judge or jury. However, attorney's fees and costs could run quite high in a case like this

The company made a report that basically said that the patent is _NOT_ novel. They had 28 references to stuff that talked about the same ideas. Most of them dated BEFORE the date on the 902 patent! They did not include that report when submitting it to the PTO...
