According to an report on TechCrunch, the prosecuting company VS Technologies is claiming damages "for Defendant’s infringement, which by law cannot be less than would constitute a reasonable royalty for the use of the patented technology, together with interest and costs as fixed by this Court".
It is common knowledge that Twitter's rise to fame was propelled by pop culture, with celebrities like Ashton Kutcher, Ellen Degeneres, and President Barack Obama heavily promoting the service on mainstream media. Top Twitter celebrity user Lady Gaga currently has 7.8 million followers on the micro-blogging network.
