One of the worlds oldest telecommunications companies is suing Valve over Steam.British Telecommunications has filed a federal lawsuit against Valve, alleging that the game developer infringed several patents via its popular Steam marketplace and distribution platform. In a 111 page court document obtained by ESPN, plaintiff British Telecom (BT) specifically pinpoints Steams storage of third-party video games as well as certain broadcasting, chat, and messaging features.Despite BTs repeated attempts to reach an amicable resolution with Valve, and BTs numerous requests that Valve stop infringing the [patents], Valve has continued to infringe willfully and wantonly, alleged British Telecom lawyers in the complaint.The lawsuit, filed in Delaware federal court, targets the heart of how consumers play, watch, interact, and purchase esports. At any given time, millions of gamers are online via Valves Steam interface.Valves internet-based digital distribution platform for video games, Steam, is the largest in the world and supports thousands of games, some of which have been developed by Valve itself and some of which have been developed by others, wrote lawyers for British Telecom.Valves Steam Library, Steam Chat, Steam Messaging, and Steam Broadcasting are all specifically mentioned in the complaint.The four patents at issue in the legal filing -- denoted by the lead inventors last name -- are included as attachments. Inventors obtain patents as a way to legally protect their work from being copied by others without permission. Patent violations can result in monetary damages and court-ordered injunctions preventing further infringement.BT brings this action to recover the just compensation it is owed for Valves past infringement, and to prevent Valve from continuing to benefit from the patented inventions in the future without authorization or compensation to BT, explained British Telecom lawyers.Screenshots featuring Valves Counter-Strike: Global Offensive game, as well as other titles, are included prominently in the complaint.The British Telecom lawsuit does not address any possible gambling-related aspect of Steam, but comes amidst an unrelated lawsuit alleging that Valve facilitated skins betting on various third-party websites. The skins wagering case is in its early stages.British Telecom is represented by powerful New York City law firm Proskauer Rose. Valve has yet to formally reply to the complaint. None of the allegations in the new British Telecom lawsuit have yet been considered by a judge or a jury.Messages seeking comment from Valve and British Telecom representatives were not immediately returned.

To the surprise of many, it isnt the Wolverines but their in-state rivals the Michigan State Spartans. DETROIT -- The Los Angeles Kings scored soon after the puck dropped for the first time in Detroit, and that was almost enough to finish off the offensively challenged Red Wings.Derek Forbort had a goal 21 seconds into the game on the first shot, Nic Dowd scored a tie-breaking goal late in the second period and Tyler Toffoli scored twice in the third, lifting Los Angeles to a 4-1 victory Thursday night.We were good all night, and even when we took penalties we were good on the kills, Toffoli said. The Buffalo game was really a wake up for us, and we stepped up. We cant stop now, though. We have to turn this into a streak.Los Angeles opened a nine-game trip that will last two-plus weeks with a 6-3 loss to the Sabres.I dont consider this a long trip, Kings coach Darryl Sutter insisted. Everybody here is used to traveling.The Red Wings had two shots in the first, their lowest total for any period this season and added just six more in the second.I was pretty much a spectator, said Jeff Zatkoff, who stopped 17 of 18 shots he faced. The guys did all the hard work and didnt leave me much to do.Detroits Jimmy Howard stopped 27 shots.Forbort put the Kings up early in the game, shooting through traffic and past Howard. A few minutes later, it looked like they were going to take a two-goal lead on Anze Kopitars shot that hit off the left post and caromed off the right post just outside of the goal line. The referees decision on the ice held up after video review.Detroits Mike Green made it 1-all with 7:13 left in the first period, taking advantage of a perfectly placed pass in front of the net by Luke Glendening, who created space behind the net by stoppinng quickly with the puck in the corner and reversing the direction he was skating.ddddddddddddThe Red Wings, though, could not generate much more offense during a game in which they gave up goals over the first two periods to players who had combined to score just three goals over the first two months of the season. They came close to scoring midway through the third period when Gustav Nyquist drew iron on a shot.Desperate to score trailing by two goals, coach Jeff Blashill pulled Howard with about 5 minutes left to add an extra skater and the Kings ended up taking advantage with Toffoli shooting into an open net.We hadnt scored and we hadnt generated much, Blashill said. I felt like it was the right decision. I would do it again in a heartbeat.Detroit has lost four straight, all at home, and has scored no more than one goal in a game during the slump.The Red Wings were 0 for 4 on the power play, dropping them to 0 for 13 over the last three games with an extra skater. They have scored only one power-play goal in the last eight games.Were losing a lot of games because of that, Nyquist said.Game notes Los Aneles ended a seven-game losing streak against the Red Wings. ... The Kings scratched F Devin Setoguci, F Andy Andreoff and D Kevin Gravel. ... Detroit scratched D Alexey Marchenko, D Brian Lashoff and F Tomas Jurco. ...
