Worlds.com CEO Thom Kidrin says that the company “absolutely” has intentions of going after other big virtual world creators, including Blizzard for World of Warcraft and Linden Labs for Second Life, reports Business Insider. That depends, of course, if Worlds.com is successful with its suit against NCSoft.
Kidrin says that Worlds.com’s patent for “System and Method for Enabling Users to Interact in a Virtual Space” dates back to 1997. It’s based on the work done on the Steven Spielberg-backed Starbright World, a virtual world service design to “educate, entertain and inspire seriously ill children.”
That patent were inherited by Worlds.com.
