Aristocrat
Sues IGT
Aristocrat Technologies, Inc.
today announced that it has served a patent
infringement lawsuit against International Game
Technology (IGT) in the U.S. District Court
of Nevada.
Aristocrat's
lawsuit contends that IGT has willfully infringed
on the Company's U.S. Patent 6,093,102 for its
Reel Power(R) video slot technology, a unique
style of game in which players purchase reels
rather than lines, enabling 243 different winning
combinations.
Aristocrat's
patent protects its monopoly rights to manufacture
and sell Reel Power games in the United States.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages
arising from IGT's unauthorized use of the patented
technology in its Multiway(R), or "243
Ways to Win", video slot games.
