Handful of Nothing

After some problems with it’s dual shock controls (force feedback mainly) from Sony, now it’s time to see Microsoft e Nintendo face some trouble with controls and patents. Some Texan company has sued both companies from breaching a bunch of patents with it’s gamepads. Take a look at some of the patents name :

Variable Sensor with Tactile Feedback / Analog Controls Housed with Electronic Displays
Remote Controller with Analog Pressure Sensor / Analog Sensor with Snap Through Tactile Feedback
3D Controller with Vibration / Variable Conductance Sensor
Game Controller with Analog Pressure Sensor / Variable Conductance Sensor with Elastomeric Dome Cap
Remote Controller with Analog Button / Image Controller with Sheet Connected Sensor
Game Control with Analog Pressure Sensor

Again: this simply blows my mind. What a fuck is a company that does nothing related to videogame doing claiming technology ownership on something that they didn’t released any comercial product using it?

This whole patent thing is becoming more and more a *** in the a***, with zero-products company creating patents on everything just waiting to see someone using those in some products, sue them and make some money. God, please keep those stupid patents in the US only. Please!
