Anascape Ltd. Drags Nintendo and Microsoft to Court

Posted Aug 4, 2006 at 12:22PM by QJ Staff Listed in: Tags: Immersion Corporation, Microsoft, patent, Sony
Ó


sony Anascape Ltd. has just recently claimed that Nintendo and Microsoft have both infringed on their patents for various controller designs. The thing is, it is not just for one supposed infringement, but 12 different ones! We've come up with a list that's a little on the techy side, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem:

Patent #5,999,084 "Variable Conductance Sensor"
           #6,102,802 "Game Controller with Analog Pressure Sensor"
           #6,135,886, "Variable Conductance Sensor with Elastomeric Dome Cap"
           #6,208,271 "Remote Controller with Analog Button"
           #6,222,525 "Image Controller with Sheet Connected Sensors"
           #6,343, 991 "Game Control with Analog Pressure Sensor"
           #6,344,791 "Variable Sensor with Tactile Feedback"
           #6,347,997 "Analog Controls Housed with Electronic Displays"
           #6,351,205 "Variable Conductance Sensor" (A different patent)
           #6,400, 303 "Remote Controller with Analog Pressure Sensor" (A different patent)
           #6,563,415 "Analog Sensor with Snap Through Tactile Feedback"
           #6,906,700 "3D Controller with Vibration"

After Immersion cashed in on the case against Sony on their infringments on 8 different patents, netting over $90 Million, another lawfirm is following suit, though this time it is not against Sony.  It looks like after the success of Immersion's lawsuit, others are looking to make a quick buck the same way.  It seems that the video game industry has now become so competitive some companies have to go to court instead of just making something better to offer the consumer - at least that's how it's looking these days, more and more.

Fix the title idiots, Sony is not suing Microsoft and nintendo. Anascape Ltd is the one taking action against Microsoft and nintendo, not sony. Anascape Ltd had patents for presure senstive buttons and other designs that microsoft and nintendo have in their controllers. That title is only going to get the fanboys aflame.

Well, its buisness, if they are competitive companies (And we all know how competitive they are.) They are bound to go on lawsuits for anything, soon well see that nintendo will get sued by sony because they started using two analog sticks on the GC controller, even if the first analong stick was on a nintendo console (as far as i know of course) , then nintendo will have to sue microsoft for another minor thing, then microsoft will sue sony for entitlements and on and on, its just predictable buisness, sometimes war seems less elaborate.

This is a competitive market, people are going to do whatevr they can to make thier system #1. Immerson started it with Sony, so in turn they have to make that money up somehow...I don't think these patents are pure speculation...so why not go after a competitor.



Like i said, I could care less what happens, I have somethings from all 3 companys, I enjoy all 3 companies differently...

# ffsmatts1900 2006-08-04 13:22
If you think that this Anascape company weren't coerced into taking action by Sony then in my opinion its clear you should think again.



Also, for this patent:

#6,135,886, "Variable Conductance Sensor with Elastomeric Dome Cap



Thats basically a mini analogue stick, present in the Xbox, PS2 and Cube, but also present in the N64 (Nintendo initially pioneered the mini analogue stick and were the first to have an analogue stick as standard on a controller) but Sega brought one out for the Saturn before that with nights into dreams. so I cant see where sony are coming from with the analogue stick thing. they only brought out their analogue pad cos nintendo & sega both had analogue sticks in their pads, and nintendo had brought out the rumble pak. so im not sure theres much (if any) opportunity for them to patent something they probably made in retaliation.



@ Sparksalot



Im not sure about who patented what first, but your story sounded almost plausible until I reached this line:

"Theres a link somewhere over on the PS UK forums"

Oh right yeah, over there on the 100% neutral playstation forum. Nothing can ever be impartial from a playstation website, same as any other forum which holds people who are brand loyal. Im not sure i wouldnt take anything pro-sony from there with a pinch of salt.

To number 32, those are patents man, there's obviously a difference in technology other wise Sony couldn't patent it. ALSO! Have you ever seen the making of the analogue stick on a n64 controller??? IT is some wacky 2 teir, piviting system that doesn't resemble the normal analogue stick that's in PS2/xbox/gc controllers at all! Don't believe me? Take one apart and see for yourself.

# Nintendo made analogsticksGuest 2006-08-04 14:24
Nintendo invented the analog stick and Nintendo sued sony for copying them way back. One thing i dont get is if sony wasent supost to be able to have a analog stick on there controller in the first place so how the hell can sony make patents for the analog stick when there already breaking copy right law by even having a analog stick



you cant sue some one for copying ideas about somthing if you were making the ideas for it wile you were never supost to have the thing your making ideas for in the the first place.

There is no way to prove who copied whom as every company manufactures their products differently. As for the motion sencing controller, Microsoft patented it first for the PC, one that worked exactly like PS3s is going to.

# tough oneGuest 2006-08-04 17:05
This is going to be a hard one for anascape to win. These patents take place after the N64 was release, but some of the things their suing for was in the N64. And what happens if Nintendo owns the patent in Japan before the US patent? Doesn't the US courts take into account other countries laws when suing a company from another country. Just some thoughts.

Sony may be more than a gaming company, but with falling sales of TV's, Video Camera's, Digital Camera's and Laptops, the only thing keeping Sony above water is the Playstation 2 console. So in order not to go bankrupt, they need to insure that they don't lose with the new-gen system.

I'm too tired to read the other 54 or so comments, but if this is in fact Anascape trying to sue Nintendo or Microsoft for infringing on SONY'S copyrights... That's illegal, they have no connection to the alleged crime.



Further, several of these copyrights appear to be somewhat redundant... I think someone's just greedy.

Don't you just adore companies that put patent on things that will eventually come on the market, without them being capable of inventing it themselves, just so that they can sue companies for millions the moment something that can be considered the same as your patent is braught to the market.



It's some sort of gun to the head of anyone who wants to make actual progress in technology.



"Hah! You can't make that without paying us millions and millions cause we got patent!"



I really love all these people going "Hah! suits you right for stealing from sony!" while Sony has nothing to do with this whole article.

# Stupid vicious circleGuest 2006-08-05 07:25
All of these sueing other companies is getting out of control. Sure, some sueing has to be done but in this case its stupid. If Sony is some part of Anascape, one example (correct me if I'm wrong) of a stupid "violation" is the N64 had a rumble pak before the PS1 "dual shock", i.e. making the [#6,906,700 "3D Controller with Vibration"] patent violation worthless. I'm sure there are other wierd patent violations in that list as well.

Looks like all 3 companies will be at everybodys' necks for a long time (well, maybe just Sony vs. Nintendo and Microsoft - haven't seen any quarls between N and MS).

nintendo introuduced the d-pad so does that mean sony should be sued? look at the old game and watch games from 20 years ago...



oh and look sony's controller is a knockoff of the super nes pad...



microsoft uses the dreamcast/saturn analog controller...



gamecube's controller was a analog/dpad swap of the ps2 dual shock...



the wii virtual console controller looks exactly like a sony dual shock...



i mean so really you had the joysticks from the pre-nes days,the d-pad from nes on and the analog from n64 on. along with vibration from nintendo...

gameboy color had motion sensors 10 years ago...

Sony can go die. They were cool and all with PS2, but with PS3 they have changed so god damn much. I hate them now. They've given up all effort to make a great console, which they have the potentual to do, but they're just too lazy this time around. At first, I saw they copied a couple things and I was ok with it. But now, they just keep copying more and more things. Totally unorigional. I hate it. They need to go die.

# too lateGuest 2006-08-07 07:19
The truth is, it's probably too late to sue for all those things anyway. I mean if your patent is infringed upon prominantly by several different companies several diffent times over several years, you lose a lot of leverage in your case.



For example, in a copyright case Barnum and Baily circus sued the State of Utah for infringing on their slogan, "The Greatest Show on Earth". For years Utah had been using "The Greatest Snow on Earth" as a slogan and stamping it on all their license plates and other official and promotional materials. When Barnum finally tried to sue, they lost the case. Even though the copyright was still valid, they had gone so long without taking any action that "The Greatest Snow on Earth" had become integrated as an important intellectual property of the State of Utah.



While copyright and patent laws aren't exactly the same, they share most of the same legal principals. There are other cases like this that have to do with real estate law as well--in most states, if you live on and develop a piece of land for seven years, it's yours (you may have to pay back taxes on it, though).



The legal principal is, you can't sit on a patent and wait until everyone in the world has infringed it, and then sue everyone in the world. After a while people have to assume you're not suing because you don't care.



The Immersion case began a long time ago, so it was easily within the "window". It didn't help $ony's case that M$ settled either.



Anyways, long post. . . the point is, this case is a scam. $ony has to be involved on some level if they are not being sued as well. It will cost all parties a lot of money no matter what happens. And nobody wins if everybody loses.

# More Greedy companies.Guest 2006-08-07 09:03
I hate companies like this that are not improving the industry and sueing for some easy money. I feel Sony went to a motion control to fill the hole when Immersion ripped out the force feedback on the dual shock with there frivolous law suit. Now Microsoft and Nintendo are being targeted. I need to patent a rotary analog control that allows easier manipulation of automotive vehicles and sue all the auto makers for infringement. Its just crazy I can see a lawsuit if its a direct duplication of the parts but they are getting plain silly here.
