On October 28, 2020, a judge in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas issued a final judgment in a patent dispute between Japanese game company GREE Inc. and Finland-based Clash of Clans developer, Supercell Oy, after a jury found Supercell guilty of willful infringement.
The jury awarded GREE $8.5 million after finding that Supercell’s Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, and Brawl Stars games had infringed upon five patents related to methods for presenting downloadable games to smartphone players, in-game fund calculation, and player interaction.
