Magic: The Gathering Online developer to face claims of patent infringement

Wildcat Intellectual Property Holdings, the company behind trading card game Unit Commander, is claiming Wizards of the Coast have violated terms of a fairly intricate patent.

The claims suggests "infringements by Wizards include, without limitation, making, using, selling, hosting, and/or providing access to within the United States, and/or importing into the United States, at least Wizards' Magic: The Gathering Online game, infringing one or more claims of the '216 Patent."

"Wizards knew or should have known that the Magic: The Gathering Online game would induce infringement by its customers."

If Wizards knew such a claim would arise, why did they go ahead and violate the patent? We'll see how this one goes.

A bit off the post.

I recently played this game for the first time (card version) and it is actually quite a lot of fun to play once you get into the game, and start understanding how the game works.
