Streaming Service Quibi Denies Patent Infringement in Suit from Eko

Quibi Holdings LLC says it’s being wrongfully accused of infringing a patent for a key feature of a short-form streaming video service it plans to launch April 6 and asked a judge to block any pending lawsuits. Closely held Interlude US Inc., which goes by the name Eko, sent a letter to Quibi on Jan. 28 demanding that it “immediately stop the use of its Turnstyle technology,” which determines the orientation of a user’s phone and seamlessly switches content based on the way the phone is held.
