Sonyに9070万ドルの支払い命令と米国における製造，使用，販売，輸入を禁じる仮処分

以前、松下とジャストの特許訴訟をとりあげましたが、これも特許訴訟ですね。それにしても、微妙な時期に判決が出たものですね。

A judge has ordered Sony Corp. to pay $90.7 million to a company that develops technology that
enhances video game realism but immediately stayed an order that would halt U.S. sales of Sony's popular PlayStation consoles.
San Jose-based Immersion Corp. sued Sony in 2002, saying the Japanese company violated two of its patents, using them to create tactile feedback features.
A federal jury in Oakland decided in favor of Immersion in September and ordered Sony to pay $82
million in damages.
On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken affirmed the decision and tacked on $8.7 million in interest. She also ordered the sales ban but granted Sony an immediate stay pending the company's expected appeal.
Sony has already paid Immersion $7 million in compulsory license payments ordered by the court and will continue to do so each quarter, based on sales of infringing products, until there is a reversal or settlement.

Immersion, founded in 1993, holds more than 270 worldwide patents and has more than 280 applications pending related to software and hardware that use so-called haptic technology. The company also develops touch technology for use in medicine, automobiles and mobile phones.
