The plaintiff is hoping for monetary damages as well as an injunction stopping Sony and Nintendo from further infringing upon the 1996 patent.
Both companies have declined to comment on the case as of yet.

Imo, his patant is far too vague to be called into play at a time like now especially since it was alreddy this far in to use.
If this actually pulls through it sounds like we're going back to wired controllers lol.
And I thought the Rumble Feature lawsuit was outrageous, this tops them all!
This is another stupid lawsuit. You know how many products that are on the market currently that use that type of identification to beam bluetooth, and infrared to various devices. This is just another company looking to make a come up off another companies success. Its smart but very dumb at the same time. These companies are like vultures
because either they arent making any money or not enough.
Aw man! Leave Nintendo out of this! We need them to make enough money to build their next-gen system :-P
This is ridiculous, there is tons of products that use bluetooth technology. These people are like bloodsucking vampires, all bout the $$$.
whatever happened to the cell lawsuit??? i think its popular to sue sony man. its like you know to call them evil, drm, this, that... lets sue them all we can.
Quote:Um yes they do. its turned off but its there awaiting new ms bluetooth controllers.
Microsoft was not named in the suit because they do not use Bluetooth to connect their controllers to the Xbox 360.
Ill be waiting for these guys to comment. :)
