More patent infringement cases are coming Sony's way, and another of them focuses around the PlayStation 3. Most recently, Parallel Processing Corp filed suit against sony in regarding to a memory technology, making it the third suit in just a few months time that have threatened the console.

The company isn't specifying exactly which part of the patent, which they filed nearly 16 years ago, has been violated. The demands they are making, however, seem more than a little extreme. On top of money, they are expecting the “destruction” of Sony products that infringe upon the patent:


Parallel Processing Corporation is seeking damages and attorney's fees with interest, as well as the impounding and destruction of all Sony products that infringe on the patent.

I seriously doubt they will get anywhere far with this case, especially not when demanding that Sony obliterate a console that has already been such a tax on them.

What is the P in the circle?
And what is it with you and the tree?

Also, PS3 was doomed to start with. Poor planning and lack of games.

Sony has gotten way too cocky in the last few years, I have no doubt they've actually been infringing on these patents and thinking they could get away with it.

Having said that, however, there is no way all PS3s will be destroyed. I'm sure it's just a ploy to get some ungodly out of court settlement and that's how it will end.

Motherfuckers aren't getting my Resistance playing machine, uh, I mean PS3. Of course, if they do all get destroyed imagine how much I can sell mine on ebay for!

Sorry you were too little to remember them. They had a lot better film then the polaroid did at the time.

Instant cameras
After losing a patent battle with Polaroid, Kodak left the instant camera business on January 9, 1986. The Kodak instant camera included models known as the Kodamatic and the Colorburst.
Polaroid was awarded damages in the patent trial in the amount of US $909,457,567.00, a record at the time. (Polaroid Corp. v. Eastman Kodak Co., U.S. District Court District of Massachusetts, decided October 12, 1990, case no. 76-1634-MA. Published in the U.S. Patent Quarterly as 16 USPQ2d 1481). See also the following cases: Polaroid Corp. v. Eastman Kodak Co., 641 F.Supp. 828 [228 USPQ 305] (D. Mass. 1985), stay denied, 833 F.2d 930 [5 USPQ2d 1080] (Fed. Cir.), aff'd, 789 F.2d 1556 [229 USPQ 561] (Fed. Cir.), cert. denied, 479 U.S. 850 (1986).[4]

Kodak had been the exclusive supplier of negatives for Polaroid cameras from 1963 until 1969, when Polaroid chose to manufacture its own instant film.[5]
