SUMMARY:Webinar: Managing Variable Latency for Multiplayer Online and Cloud Gaming
DESCRIPTION:Join CableLabs Distinguished Technologists\, Greg White and Steve Glennon\, for an in-depth look at sources of latency in home and access networks and learn how the Cable industry is providing tools for game developers to improve the game experience.  Most applications have different traffic patterns and needs which ultimately require different solutions for reducing and managing latency. This is true even between seemingly related applications like online gaming and game streaming. The good news is that CableLabs has been building and testing latency and congestion management solutions for some time\, including one that is well-tailored to emerging game streaming platforms. The suite of features developed by CableLabs and its industry partners\, known as Low Latency DOCSIS® technology (LLD)\, can provide better customer experiences for both current multiplayer online gaming and emerging cloud gaming services. In this session\, game developers will learn about the steps to ensure their games are ready to take advantage of these new network capabilities. \nDate/Time: 11 November\, 1pm ET \nLocation: twitch.tv/igda

SUMMARY:Navigating Alice’s Patent Wonderland: Overcoming 101 in the Gaming Industry
DESCRIPTION:In 2014\, a Supreme Court case emerged as the tip of an iceberg that would sink many gaming patents and make the passage from filing to issuance that much harder. In Alice\, the Supreme Court looked at the statute\, 35 U.S.C. § 101\, which outlines what qualifies for patent protection. Notably\, the Court established a test for determining whether software can qualify for a patent or if it attempts to cover unpatentable subject matter\, such as an abstract idea. At a high level\, abstract ideas refer to “ideas in and of themselves.”  Those seeking patents covering aspects of video games will need an experienced captain\, as the underlying software and rules governing gameplay tend to gravitate towards the immovable object that is § 101. In this webinar\, lawyers from Finnegan will explain the pitfalls to avoid and strategies for safe passage. \nDate/Time: 9 December\, 3pm ET \nLocation: twitch.tv/igda \n

SUMMARY:Game Industry Ultimate Holiday Party Palooza
DESCRIPTION:We’re going to party like it’s 2019! Look\, this year has been a rough enough year as it is\, and the fact that most of us can’t physically get together to send it off with a proper commiseration/celebration is super disappointing. However\, Games Industry Gathering (GIG) figured out a way to do this in a virtual space that is actually fun and won’t give you video call fatigue\, plus it gives folks the chance to hang out and network with NEW friends\, while recreating the kind of atmosphere we used to have at the bars and venues around gaming conventions (plus much safer too). Once registered\, you’ll be able to join at any point during the 22 hour event\, You’ll then be placed into a random breakout room with 4-5 other gaming industry folks for 20 minutes\, where you’ll have a chance to chat with people who you may not typically meet\, find unique opportunities to socialize\, and maybe even have some interesting business discussions. \n  \nFor more info: http://games.industrygathering.com/2020party/
