PS3 in problem due to new lawsuit.
29th Aug 2008

Another Lawsuit against a game company. This time Sony is being asked to cease manufacture, sale and supply of all Blu-Ray enabled products, which include the Playstation 3.

Sony has successfully held off companies in the past who have insisted that the PS3 manufacturer had infringed on patents relating to its Blu-Ray discs, and still they keep coming for a slice of the cake.

This time, Californian-based firm Orinda Intellectual Properties has applied to the courts claiming that Sony has violated patent number 5,438,560, which relates to “an optical disk-shaped recording medium comprising a plurality of tracks ,” filed in 1995 by Hyundai Electronics Industries.

Furthermore, a court filing from August 20th, provides evidence that the firm is suing Sony Electronics, Sony Computer Entertainment and Sony Computer Entertainment America and has applied to the courts demanding that Sony pay a 'reasonable royalty' fee. More drastically though, Orinda has asked that Sony cease manufacture, sale and supply of all Blu-Ray enabled products, which include the Playstation 3.

Despite attempts from a number of companies to sue Sony over patent infringements relating to its Blu-Ray discs, all have failed.

Sony will be hoping that the Federal judges of East Texas are more lenient towards them than they were with Nintendo earlier this year.

It was the same courts that backed Anascape Ltd.in a lawsuit against Nintendo in which it won damages of $21 million for infringements on its motion-technology used in Wii and Gamecube controllers.
