Controller Patent Suit Won Against Sony

Posted by Zonk on Thursday September 23, 2004 @07:45AM from the really-easy-jokes dept.

ivec writes "Immersion Corporation announced that the jury returned a verdict favorable to Immersion in its patent infringement suit against Sony Computer Entertainment. The jury found that Sony infringed all the asserted claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,275,213 and 6,424,333 and that those claims were valid. I was surprised how recent these filings were (2000 and 2001). The patents cover 'vibrating devices' such as joysticks."

Prior art doesn't mean prior art anymore. It means "I was the first to file for this patent, even if 10 years later". Or in /. terms, "FP! LOL!"
