Adam Carolla settles with podcasting patent troll, agrees to ‘quiet period’
2 12 2014After more than a year of litigation, podcaster and comedian Adam Carolla has reached a cease-fire with the well-known “patent troll” claiming to hold a patent that covers podcasting.
Carolla was sued for patent infringement in January 2013. He responded by fighting back, raising almost $500,000 in a crowd-funded campaign. The parties had a trial set for next month in East Texas.
Personal Audio LLC, the patent company, also sued TV networks CBS, NBC, and Fox over some of their Internet video-on-demand offerings, since it believes its patent covers some types of Internet “episodic content.” The TV companies are continuing to litigate.
