Realtime, a data compression developer, accuses Scality of directly infringing four patents relating to data compression, as well as alleging contributory and induced infringement. Realtime seeks monetary and injunctive relief, although an injunction likely depends on a finding of infringement of one of the asserted patents, U.S. 9,667,751, as the other three have priority dates of 1998 and 1999 and will likely expire prior to resolution of litigation. Realtime identifies itself as an inventor-owned R&D company that broadly licenses its technology; it (and its subsidiary Realtime Adaptive Streaming) has repeatedly asserted its patents in litigation, and it is unclear whether it licenses outside of the litigation context.
