Patent Dispute: Pornhub Parent Versus WellcomeMat

Aylo Holdings, the parent company of Pornhub, is currently embroiled in a legal battle with WellcomeMat LLC, a real estate video marketing company. The dispute centers on WellcomeMat’s claim that Aylo is unlawfully utilizing its patented technology for uploading videos on Pornhub, an accusation Aylo firmly denies.

Filed in October by WellcomeMat, the lawsuit targets Aylo (formerly known as MindGeek) and its subsidiaries, alleging that they were aware of and deliberately infringed upon WellcomeMat’s patent. The technology in question pertains to the addition of “chapter” markers to videos, which WellcomeMat claims to have patented.


Aylo’s defense hinges on the argument that WellcomeMat’s patent does not disclose any “inventive concept” as required by the U.S. Supreme Court’s patent eligibility standards established in the 2014 Alice v. CLS Bank decision. Aylo contends that the idea of adding chapter markers to videos is abstract and has been used historically in various formats, such as table of contents in books.

The dispute further involves the backstory of WellcomeMat’s technology, developed by its founders Christian Sterner, Phil DiGiulio, and Haider Zainy. They claim to have revolutionized online video distribution with their patented methods and systems for managing and presenting video data. However, Aylo argues that the concept is not new and thus not patentable.

Interestingly, the current lawsuit’s roots can be traced back to 2020, when Aylo, then MindGeek, requested a review of another company’s patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, citing the WellcomeMat patent as a basis for invalidity. This interaction led to WellcomeMat accusing MindGeek of infringing upon its video chaptering features on Pornhub and refusing a license offer for the patented technology.

The case, which implicates not just Aylo but also Texas porn star Jarrod Beltran, is playing out in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, a popular venue for patent cases. WellcomeMat alleges that by using the infringing platforms on Pornhub, Aylo induced content partners like Beltran to violate its patent.

Recently, Aylo also moved to sever the claims against Beltran from those against itself and requested a transfer of the case to the Southern District of New York. As the legal battle unfolds, it brings to light the complexities of patent law in the digital age, particularly in the realm of online video technology.

One line of code: The easiest way to integrate Go.cam 

At Go.cam, we’ve always believed that age verification shouldn’t just be accurate, private, and compliant, it should also be effortless to integrate. Today, we’re taking a big step forward in that mission: implementing Go.cam will soon require just one single line of code. 


Why This Matters 
Integrating age verification often meant downloading SDKs, navigating documentation, and sometimes custom integrations. Developers told us they loved the transparency of our open-source approach, but they wanted something even faster, a solution that can be live in minutes, not hours. 

Automatic Implementation 
Integration is now as easy as dropping a single JavaScript snippet into your site. Go.cam takes care of the rest automatically: 

· Blurs the website’s adult content 
· Camera access management 
· Real-time AI-powered facial age estimation 
· Instant verification results 

Partners will also be able to change the design so it fits their site’s colors and branding and manage the settings for each domain without editing the code again. 

For those who want even more control, a “controlled implementation” option is also available. This allows you to manually adjust settings and trigger custom actions, without downloading anything or running code on your own servers everything runs securely in the browser. 

Compliance Without the Complexity 
By removing complexity, we’re making privacy-first and AI-powered age verification accessible to everyone — from startups to global platforms. This one-line integration isn’t just a technical update; it’s our way of keeping Go.cam as the easiest, fastest, and most reliable solution on the market.

SkyPrivate Launches Lifetime 90% Referral Payout for Models


SkyPrivate is rolling out a major update that gives models a powerful new way to
maximize their earnings: 90% lifetime payout on referred members.



With this new system, the models earn 90% on everything the new members they refer
to SkyPrivate spend with them on the platform.

This includes tips, pay-per-minute calls, prepaid shows, and store purchases. And the
models continue to earn 90% for as long as their referrals remain active on SkyPrivate.

To access the 90% referral payout rate, the models simply need to log in to their
SkyPrivate accounts, navigate to “Promote” → “Get 90% Payout”, and copy their
referral links.

They can then share their links wherever their fans follow them: socials, chat, anywhere.
SkyPrivate’s referral update doesn’t change the models’ regular payout rates. Instead, it
adds a new way for models to earn 90% on the referred members’ spending with them
and boost their income.

“This update is designed to reward our models for bringing new active members to the
platform,” said Dragos, chief commercial officer at SkyPrivate. “It’s simple, transparent,
and gives our community of models an extra way to maximize their earnings… for life.”

The 90% lifetime payout enables SkyPrivate models to take charge of their referrals and
turn their existing fan base across social media and other platforms into a steady stream
of income.

It’s a competitive advantage for those looking to grow their presence and earnings on
the platform.
