Valve Corporation v. Rothschild (2:23-cv-01016) (Gabe Newell vs Lord High Jacob Rothschild, The 4th Noble Baron of Rothschild and head of The Rothschild Estate) District Court, W.D. Washington July 19, 2023, 10:44 a.m. IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON VALVE CORPORATION, Plaintiff, v. ROTHSCHILD BROADCAST DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS, LLC, DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, PATENT ASSET MANAGEMENT, LLC, MEYLER LEGAL, PLLC, AND SAMUEL MEYLER Defendants. Case No.: 2:23-cv-1016 COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY JUDGEMENT OF INVALIDITY AND UNENFORCEABILITY OF U.S. PATENT NOS. 8,856,221; BREACH OF CONTRACT; AND BAD FAITH ASSERTION OF PATENT INFRINGEMENT JURY TRIAL DEMANDED BROKEN DOWN FOR RETARDS 1. Rothschild has contacted Valve numerous times in the last 17 months stating that valve has infringed on their ownership of U.S. Patent No. 8,856,221 2. U.S. Patent No. 8,856,221 is the legally defined method for the data transmission model known as "Cloud Computing" 3. Valve has replied to Rothschild stating that they signed the 2016 Global Settlement and License Agreement that allows them to use the Cloud Computing method and that Rothschild agreed to the terms 4. In February 2022, Rothschild emailed Valve and demanded they renew their agreement where Valve pays even more money to be allowed to use Rothschild's Cloud Computing Information transmission model, otherwise Rothschild would begin suing Valve 5. Valve replied with the previous agreements legal documentation and refused to submit to blackmail and renegotiate the agreement where Valve pays Rothschild even more money 6. Valve was subsequently sued by Rothschild over a second patent, U.S. Patent No. 9,300,723, in the case "Display Technologies LLC v. Valve Corporation, 2-22-cv-01365 (W.D. Wa. Sept. 27, 2022)" 7. U.S. Patent No. 9,300,723 is the legally defined method for transmitting data to mobile devices 8. Valve had a license to U.S. Patent No. 9,300,723 under the exact same 2016 Global Settlement and License Agreement and provided the legal documentation to prove so 9. Rothchild voluntarily dismissed lawsuit (2-22-cv-01365) in response 10. Now, Valve sues Rothchild over breaching the 2016 Global Settlement and License Agreement because Rothschild lied and said Valve didn't have the right to use Cloud Computing patent 11. Valve says Rothschild also violated the “Patent Trolling Prevention Act” and the Washington State Consumer Protection Act by making bad faith assertions of patent infringement 12. Valve asserts that the Rothschild Broadcast Distribution Systems (“RBDS”), the owner of the Cloud Computing Patent, does not make, use, or sell any products or services of its own, but is solely in the business of patent licensing through the threat of litigation, a pattern of behavior indicative of entities commonly referred to as “patent trolls” 13. Valve asserts that the sole purpose of the Rothschild companies is to accuse others of infringement and that the goal of these lawsuits is to extract a quick settlement from the accused infringers rather than actually litigate based on the merits of the plaintiffs’ infringement claims. 14. Valve asserts that Rothschild's actions violate the Declaratory Judgment Act under the Patent Laws of the United States. Their actions also violate the Patent Troll Prevention Act enacted by the state of Washington prohibiting bad faith assertion of patent infringement and the Washington State Consumer Protection Act. 15. Valve states that a judicial declaration is necessary to determine the respective rights regarding the Cloud Computing Patent and that Valve respectfully seeks a judicial declaration that the Rothschild claim to the Cloud Computing Patent is hereby invalid and unenforceable 16. Valve, pursuant to the Seventh Amendment of the United States Constitution, requests trial by jury on all issues properly heard by a jury. https://archive.is/TrD8f https://archive.is/hGqN2
