Regarding alleged use of De La Vega live-streaming patents by Truth Social / TMTG
Patents: US 10,205,986 B2 & US 10,958,961 B2 (priority March 2003)
| Component | Basis | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Patent License Fee | Alleged use of mobile live-streaming inventions (’986/’961) | $5,000,000 | Fixed license ask selected by the patent holder, aligned to the platform’s current commercial scale as asserted below. |
| Discrimination Damages Demand | Separate claim: repeated account removals/denials alleged by the patent holder | $25,000,000 | Non-patent claim. Presented as the patent holder’s allegation and demand. Not adjudicated. |
| Total Sought via Escrow | License + separate discrimination demand | $30,000,000 | Payment window below; license rescission notice if unpaid. |
Important: The $5,000,000 patent amount reflects the patent holder’s license offer for alleged use of the inventions. The additional $25,000,000 is a separate, non-patent discrimination demand based on the patent holder’s allegations of repeated removals. These are not court findings.
Per the patent holder’s assessment, Truth Social’s current revenue and scale support a flat portfolio license of $5,000,000 for the live-streaming inventions. This figure is intended as a practical business resolution consistent with the platform’s size today.
