Sony sued (again) for patent violation, injunction sought on PS3 sales

July 31st, 2007 | Category: Gaming Technology

Oh boy, another patent lawsuit filed in that litigious folly called the Texas court system. This time, the suit pits Parallel Processing Corporation of Newport Beach, California against that legal whipping boy, Sony. PPC alleges that Sony’s Cell processor — the horsepower inside the PS3 — violates a patent for “synchronized parallel processing with shared memory.” Filed on July 26th, the five-page complaint by PPC states that Sony’s actions are causing “irreparable harm and monetary damage” to the company and are therefore seeking the usual: compensation for damages (with interest) as well as the impounding and destruction of all Sony products infringing on the patent. Good times.
