Bell Canada in no rush to defend $350M patent infringement law suit from MediaTube

At issue is a patent infringement suit brought in April 2013 by MediaTube against Bell Canada.

Put it down as another example of a little Canadian technology company dealing with the big boys and the big boys doing their best to stretch the procedure out.

A couple of years back it was i4i Inc. versus Microsoft once the Toronto-based content development firm brought a patent infringement action against Microsoft.  Microsoft lost and was ordered with a Texas court to pay for more than $290 million. But Microsoft appealed and kept appealing up to the final Court. The greatest court wasn’t swayed, however, and the appeals court ruling that Microsoft wilfully infringed on i4i’s patent remained. The problem took a lot more than 4 years to solve and millions in legal fees.
