In 2005, Audio Pod IP was founded and since then it has been at the forefront of media streaming technology innovation. The company has invented several key technologies that have revolutionized the way people consume digital content. These include segmenting and sequencing streaming files to bypass long download times for large files, bookmarking digital content for pausing and resuming later, and launching a subscriber-paid streaming service in 2006.
Recently, Audio Pod IP filed three patent infringement lawsuits in the Eastern District of Virginia against Amazon, Amazon Web Services, and Audible. The company claims that these companies are infringing on its patents related to these technologies. The complaint references a January 2008 front-page article in the Ottawa Citizen to support its assertion of early success.
Chandran Iyer, Ronald Daignault, and Kevin Sprenger of intellectual property firm Daignault Iyer are representing Audio Pod IP in these legal actions. They are seeking damages for the alleged infringement.
