The technology corporation, known for its patent for interactive sex toys, faced inquiries about its alleged excessive reliance on language from earlier inventions.

Nevertheless, throughout the hearing it’s become apparent that a focal issue has been the extent to which the company’s patent application incorporates verbatim language drawn from earlier, existing inventions.
