Eolas Technologies and the Regents of the University of California are suing Facebook, Wal-Mart, and Walt Disney Company over interactive technology patents. The patents, including hypermedia display and interaction were issued to the university and licensed to the Texas-based Eolas, chaired by Michael Doyle. A University of California spokesperson said it considered the patents public assets and they should be "paid a fair value when a third party exploits that university asset for profit."
