MARImmersion Gains Legal Victory Against Sony
GTAGaming.com - General News | @ 04:18 AM CST | By Neil
Since 2002, Immersion Corporation (manufacturers of vibrating gaming technology) have been fighting Sony Computer Entertainment through the courts, arguing that Sony's Dual Shock controllers infringe on patents filed by Immersion before Dual Shock was sold for the first time.

The order, from a California court, forces Sony to pay $90.7Million directly to Immersion for patent infringement. This comes only a few months after a Federal court awarded $82Million in Immersion's favour in September 2004.

However, this time Immersion have won an even greater battle. An injunction is now in force which prevents sales of Dual Shock Controllers (and the Playstation consoles they are bundled with) and around 40 software products including Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City in the United States.

The injunction is withheld while Sony appeals against it. Sony can continue to sell these products while a court is considering their appeal.

This is the second blow of recent weeks to Sony. Just last week, they launched their Playstation Portable platform and found a much lower level of public interest than they had expected. Store managers have reported having up to 90% of their allocated units still on shelves, which clearly hampers the company's hopes of selling its first million consoles as quickly as possible.
