Even as both sides await a judge’s ruling over the legality of RealNetworks' DVD copying software RealDVD, the major studios have filed a new complaint, charging that RealNetworks lied in court about circumventing DVD copy protections.
In a filing yesterday, the Motion Picture Association of America asked Judge Marilyn Hall Patel to include in the court record five patent filings by RealNetworks, published by the Patent and Trademark Office on June 11. The MPAA claims that RealNetworks seeks to patent DVD copyright circumvention technologies for RealDVD that it denied existed in the April hearing.
