Comments on: Sony loses round in DualShock patent case

Judge rules that appeal in patent holder Immersion's suit over vibrating controllers will go forward.

Sony's at it again.

What's wrong with Sony?
First they claimed that they invented the portable stereo they labeled Walkman. Not so. It was this European guy who lived in Brazil for some time. Sony dragged for decades claiming they invented the Walkman. Nope.

Now, they're messing around with another company. Jeez. At least this time it didn't take decades to get Sony caught in the act of stealing other's technology.

guy in brazil

no guy in brazil "invented" the walkman prior to sony's seperate
creation in japan.

it's like how written language and pyramids were developed in
both egypt and mesoamerica

however, the did rip off the immersion controllers.

what else did they rip off? the list is pretty long, right down to
coca cola in japan

i don't buy sony, i don't use sony, i don't like sony

buy a VAIO, and try to upgrade, then you'll know what i mean

5%

I can't believe MS is paying 5% of there x-box revenue for the dual
shock controllers, thats way to high.

GOOD!

i'm surprised they even have the balls to ask for it to be over turned. who do they think they are?

[unknown unknown]

It never ceases to amaze at the kind of...

crap that manages to be patented. We have set a very low bar for patentability much to our detriment.

[Junkie Man of Machine]

Well, that is the Law for ya...

I heard about this, and I remember that Microsoft has settled right away with the company in question.

Cause, they saw the writing on the wall.

Why did Sony ignored it?

[mrpeabody3119]

Because Sony are idiots

After reading all the crap they have been pulling im not buying any Sony products. I don't care if they come out with the first holographic telephone im not buying it.

Dualshock infringement

We worked on feedback joysticks in the mid 1980's at Coleco for Colecovision. While we did not launch the joystick due to the early demise of the company, our work certainly predated any patents in question here.
