An audiobook company represented by Chandran Iyer, Ronald Daignault and Kevin Sprenger of intellectual property firm Daignault Iyer recently filed three patent infringement lawsuits against Amazon, Amazon Web Services and Audible in the Eastern District of Virginia.
The company, Audio Pod IP, alleges in one complaint that it invented “several key media streaming technologies” after it was founded in 2005, including segmenting and sequencing streaming files to work around long download times for large files, bookmarking digital content so it can be paused and played at a later time and a subscriber-paid streaming service launched in 2006. The complaint cited a January 2008 front-page article in the Ottawa Citizen to document its early trajectory.
