Nintendo Loses $21 Million Patent-Infringement Lawsuit Posted: 5 months ago by punthe
That's right. Nintendo didn't develop the controller technology, but they sure as heck took credit for it.

Microsoft was also sued by the same company, but settled before it went to trial.

Sony is still manufacturing their OWN technology.

I stand corrected. However, after reading the literature that was presented to me, it sounds more like both parties (Sony & Immersion) have accepted defeat and that Sony and Microsoft both own parts of Immersion. I agree with Sony's appeal that the technology that was used in the DualShock controllers was similar, but wasn't the same. However, I commend you on your research and have decided to award you compensation of 5 random upvotes for my lack of research further into this case. I did read aboot this while it was happening, but the last I had heard was that Sony and Immersion had come to an agreement. Kudos!
