Turbine, maker of Dungeons & Dragons Online, has a busy legal department of late. In addition to suing Atari, itâs being sued â along with Sony and Blizzard â by a holding firm alleging infringement of their patented realtime technology.

Paltalk bought the patents in 2002, and allege that Turbine and other companies are infringing them. The suitâs been filed in federal court for the Eastern District of Texas, which is known as a plaintiff-friendly venue for such litigation. Microsoftâs settlement, back in March, certainly makes it harder to deny the validity of Paltalkâs claim.
In addition to Turbine, Sony (Everquest) and Blizzard (World of Warcraft), NCSoft (Guild Wars) and Jagex (Runescape) are also named as defendants.
