\tVideo streaming start-up Quibi was accused of infringing on a patent for a key feature by video specialist Eko, weeks before the heavily-backed app’s scheduled launch, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported.<\/p>\n

At the heart of the dispute is Quibi\u2019s turnstyle feature, a focal point at the app\u2019s unveiling [1] which allows videos to seamlessly move from horizontal to vertical viewing and vice versa.<\/p>\n

Eko said it invented and patented this technology, demanding in a legal notice Quibi stops using it or licence it. The company alleges Quibi employees had access to its patent through previous roles at Snap.<\/p>\n

In a statement to WSJ, Quibi denied Eko\u2019s accusation, stating it had \u201cno merit\u201d and the turnstyle feature was developed internally by engineers with its own patent.<\/p>\n

Switching from vertical to horizontal videos in real time isn\u2019t a trade secret or covered by Eko\u2019s patent, it added, explaining the feature was in development before employees moved from Snap to Quibi.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Times reported Quibi filed a court order to establish it did not steal Eko\u2019s technology.<\/p>\n

Quibi was formed by former Walt Disney Studios chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg and former HP chief Meg Whitman, who took the mantle of CEO. It is scheduled to launch on 6 April.<\/p>\n

The mobile-only video streaming app is expected to challenge apps from providers including Netflix and Amazon Prime, with series starring Hollywood actors in exclusive shows.<\/p>\n

Quibi is backed by heavyweights including The Walt Disney Company, JP Morgan, Liberty Global and Viacom, raising around $1.4 billion in funding.<\/p>\n
