Verizon – $8,000,000,000 Live Streaming Patent Settlement Demand

This page serves as a formal public notice and settlement demand to Verizon Communications Inc. and all affiliated entities for $8,000,000,000 (eight billion U.S. dollars) to obtain a comprehensive license covering past, present, and near-term use of the patented mobile live streaming technology described in U.S. Patents 10,205,986 B2 and 10,958,961 B2.

Payment Terms: Settlement payment must be made via Escrow.com on terms specified by the patent holder within the seven-day notice period to avoid litigation. A dedicated Escrow payment button for Verizon is provided below for immediate resolution.

The $8 billion settlement demand is calculated using established patent damages methodologies, publicly reported Verizon financial data, and conservative assumptions about the centrality of the patented technology to Verizon's streaming-dependent revenue streams.

• Revenue Analysis: Verizon's public financial reports consistently show tens of billions of dollars annually in wireless service revenue, with substantial portions driven by data-heavy usage such as live video streaming, mobile broadcasting, and real-time content delivery.
• Reasonable Royalty Calculation: In technology and software sectors, reasonable royalty rates for foundational patented technologies typically range from 3-15% or more of relevant revenue, depending on patent strength, market importance, and degree of infringement. For central technologies like live streaming infrastructure, rates at the higher end of this spectrum are justified.
• Patent Scope & Importance: The patents at issue ('986 and '961) cover foundational methods for mobile live video capture, routing, real-time selection, and network delivery—core functionalities that enable Verizon's entire streaming ecosystem, including cellular data services, Go90 (historical), and partnerships with streaming platforms.
• Multi-Year Infringement Period: Verizon has utilized these patented methods without authorization for multiple years, spanning the operational lifetime of services like Go90, NFL Mobile streaming deals, Yahoo streaming integrations, and ongoing 4G/5G network-based live video transmission.
• Conservative Settlement Approach: When reasonable royalty percentages (5-10%) are applied to the conservative portion of Verizon's revenue attributable to live streaming and mobile video over the infringement period, the damages range reaches the multi-billion-dollar tier. The $8 billion demand represents:
  • Compensation for past unauthorized use (2015-2025+)
  • Current ongoing infringement across Verizon's network infrastructure
  • Forward-looking license for continued use through patent expiry
• Pre-Litigation Settlement Discount: This amount does not yet include multipliers for willful infringement (up to 3x under 35 U.S.C. § 284), enhanced damages, attorney fees, or litigation costs. It represents a good-faith settlement offer intended to resolve the dispute efficiently without the expense, publicity, and uncertainty of full-scale federal patent litigation.

Conclusion: The $8 billion figure is supported by industry-standard patent valuation methods, Verizon's own financial disclosures, and conservative infringement assumptions. Failure to settle within the notice period will result in judicial determination of damages, which may substantially exceed this pre-litigation offer.

By publishing this formal demand, transmitting direct notice to Verizon decision-makers, and providing a clear, dedicated payment mechanism via Escrow.com, Verizon Communications Inc. is hereby formally placed on notice of the asserted patent rights under U.S. Patents 10,205,986 B2 and 10,958,961 B2, and of the demand for an immediate license settlement.

From the Patent Holder's Perspective:

• Notice & Opportunity to Cure: Verizon has been provided with detailed claim charts, infringement analyses, patent documentation, and a reasonable opportunity to review the allegations, analyze the technology, and cure the infringement by securing a license through the provided payment channel.
• Seven-Day Countdown Window: The countdown timer visible on this page marks the formal window during which Verizon can resolve the matter under the stated $8 billion settlement terms without triggering willful infringement findings or enhanced damages.
• Post-Deadline Consequences: After the countdown expires, any continued unlicensed use of the patented mobile live-streaming systems, methods, and infrastructure will be treated by the patent holder as knowing and willful patent infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 284, potentially justifying:
  • Enhanced damages up to three times the actual damages
  • Recovery of attorney fees under 35 U.S.C. § 285
  • Injunctive relief preventing further use of the technology
  • Public court record of willful infringement findings

Reserved Rights of the Patent Holder:

The patent holder expressly reserves all legal rights, including but not limited to:

• Filing suit in the United States District Court for patent infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 271
• Seeking full compensatory damages for all past, present, and future infringement
• Requesting enhanced damages based on willfulness post-notice
• Pursuing recovery of all attorney fees and litigation costs
• Seeking permanent injunctive relief to halt continued infringement
• Publicly documenting Verizon's refusal to license patented technology and subsequent legal proceedings

⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE ACTION REQUIRED: Verizon decision-makers are strongly urged to act within the seven-day deadline to avoid escalation, enhanced damages, and protracted federal litigation.

Summary of Infringement: Verizon Communications Inc. and its affiliated entities enable, facilitate, and directly profit from live video broadcasts that flow through Verizon's mobile network infrastructure, utilizing methods and systems explicitly covered by U.S. Patents 10,205,986 B2 and 10,958,961 B2 (priority date: 2003). These activities have been conducted without authorization or license from the patent holder.

License Requirement: A valid license agreement is legally required to continue these activities. Verizon is hereby formally invoiced for $8,000,000,000 USD as a comprehensive settlement covering all past infringement, current ongoing use, and prospective license rights through patent expiry.

Payment Instructions: Settlement payment must be completed through the secure Escrow.com payment portal linked on this page within the seven-day notice period (November 13-20, 2025). Failure to resolve payment within this window will result in immediate escalation to federal litigation with claims for willful infringement, enhanced damages, and attorney fees.

⚖️ FINAL WARNING: Legal action is imminent upon expiration of the settlement deadline. Verizon decision-makers are strongly urged to act immediately to avoid protracted, costly litigation and enhanced financial liability.
