Court Halts Light & Wonder’s Dragon Link Amid Legal Battle

Share:

A U.S. District Court has issued a temporary injunction against Light & Wonder, effectively halting the sale and distribution of its popular gaming product, Dragon Link. This ruling follows a lawsuit filed by Aristocrat Technologies, accusing Light & Wonder of patent infringement related to the Dragon Link game, a leading slot product in the gaming sector. The court found sufficient grounds to grant Aristocrat’s request for an injunction, which temporarily removes the game from the market pending further legal proceedings.

Dragon Link has been a significant product for Light & Wonder, contributing to its presence in both physical and digital gaming platforms. The ruling poses a substantial setback for the company as it faces further litigation. Light & Wonder has expressed disappointment with the ruling and is expected to appeal, asserting that it will vigorously defend its product line.

The legal dispute between the two gaming giants underscores ongoing tensions over intellectual property within the gaming industry, as companies seek to protect their innovations while competing in an ever-growing market.
