Sony Loses Patent Battle -- Told To Stop
Selling PlayStations In The US

Sony Loses Patent Battle -- Told To Stop
Selling PlayStations In The US 03/28/2005 06:00 AM
If you're familiar with the word "haptics," you're familiar with the company Immersion. They're the company that seems to own every possible patent having to do with the haptics space, and any kind of tactile response or force feedback device usually involves patents that were first licensed from the company. So, in some ways, it's pretty impressive that Sony has gotten as far as it has apparently without licensing patents from the company. A court has found, however, that Sony's force feedback controllers for the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 violate Immersion's patents and not only have they ordered the company to pay $90 million in damages, but also told Sony it can no longer sell either console in the US. Sony, of course, will appeal the ruling, which will allow them to keep selling the consoles in the meantime. Of course, this is the same Sony that keeps insisting on the importance of stricter intellectual property enforcement to teach violators a lesson. Funny what comes back to bite you...

Sony has been ordered to pay over $90 million in damages over a patent infringement lawsuit and was also issued a permanent injunction against the manufacture, use, sale, or import into the U.S. of PlayStation consoles, Dual Shock controllers, and 47 games that infringe on the patents. Immersion Corporation was awarded $82.0 million in past damages, along with pre-judgment interest in the amount of $8.7 million by the court for the technology Sony used that makes a game controller vibrate in sync with actions in games. Sony's gaming unit, Sony Computer Entertainment, plans to appeal the decision made by the California court on Thursday.

MLB Online Hit With Patent Suit

MLB Online Hit With Patent Suit 09/09/2004 06:33 PM
Not sure what the deal is today with companies who have been using bizarre interpretations of intellectual property to their advantage suddenly getting hit with intellectual property lawsuits. First, we had the RIAA get sued for patent infringement and now MLB Online is getting sued for patent infringement over some patents concerning the real-time display of game information online. Not surprisingly, it's a small patent hoarding company rather than a company that is actually doing any innovating. Of course, MLB.com doesn't exactly have a sparkling record when it comes to intellectual property freedom. You may recall that they wanted to stop all other sites from reporting in-game data (facts) because they seemed to believe they owned all the rights to in-game data. Of course, you can't copyright facts. Once again, though, this lawsuit is unlikely to make MLB.com realize some of the problems with the way intellectual property is dealt with these days.

TiVo wins Pause Technology patent suit

Good news for TiVo today as they won a patent suit against Pause Technology. Pause Technology has a patent on the functionality of pausing TV, buffering live TV, and catching up to live by fast-forwarding. It sounds pretty close to what TiVo does, but a judge sided against Pause. It'll be interesting to see how well TiVo does in its own patent suits against other DVR manufacturers. [thanks Scott!]
