A California organization has recorded a claim in Florida against The Walt Disney Organization and Walt Disney Parks and Resort alleging patent encroachment over Disney’s Genie and Genie+ services, which can make a customized itinerary for visitors visiting their amusement parks.
The claim was documented on Dec. 2, 2022, in the US. District Court, Middle District of Florida’s Fort Myers Division, on behalf of Agile Journeys, claims Disney’s Genie+ service infringes on one of its licenses – ‘983 Patent, known as “Method and Apparatus for Providing Visitors with a Personalized Itinerary and Managed Access to Attractions.”
As indicated by the claim, the patent’s inventors – William Gibbens Redmann and Michael Anthony Eaton, who both supposedly worked for Disney – looked to build “a system and method for creating a personalized itinerary for visitors to a facility, such as a zoo, theme park, historic area, or shopping district.”
The claim guarantees that Disney knew about the patent, infringed on it, and included a portion of the innovation for its Genie and Genie+ services, which has allegedly harmed Agile Journeys, LLC.
The claim doesn’t specify a particular damages amount, however, looks for a judgment that Disney encroached on the ‘983 patent, that Disney pays for “past and future damages,” and that Disney pays for enhanced damages, royalties, and attorney fees.
The most recent claim has been documented against The Walt Disney Organization A claim was documented in California against Disneyland Resort on behalf of some yearly pass holders alleging its Coronavirus period reservation system restricted their capacity to visit the amusement parks despite their passes not having lockout dates. A similar claim was documented against Walt Disney World Hotel.
