Sony and Nintendo get sued for patent infringement (again)

Sony can’t just catch a break, can it? According to Gamespot, a company named the Copper Innovations Group filed suit against Nintendo and Sony for a patent it holds on a “Hand Held Computer Input Apparatus and Method.” The patent, filed in January 1996 references devices and their ability to communicate with hardware reference numbers. Sony’s PS3 controllers utilize a similar technology.
This isn’t the first time Sony has had to face a lawsuit for its controller technology. Famously, Immersion successfully sued Sony for the use of rumble in the DualShock controller. Until the suit was settled, Sony had to remove rumble from their SIXAXIS controllers.
Neither Sony nor Copper Innovations Group has commented about the situation. Will this end up being another headache for Sony?
