Why is America so freakin’ sue-happy. The latest comes from Orinda Intellectual Properties USA as they claim that the Sony Playstation 3 infringes on patent #5,438,560. Said patent depicts the methods by which you record and reproduce information on an optical disc. Sounds absurd, right?
What a bunch of jackasses. Seriously, they want a jury trial and the immediate injunction on manufacturing, sales and distribution of the gaming/blu-ray console on top of a “reasonable royalty”, says Edge.
“Orinda has been and will continue to be damaged as a result of Defendants’ infringing conduct,” the company said in the filing. “Defendants’ infringing conduct will continue unless permanently enjoined by this court.”
Wow the picture of that chick is old school. There are archives of pictures dedicated to her.
Where are the archives? This is great!

I’m so sick of companies trying to sue a large gaming company that most likely will bury them. Especially so long after the said infringements originally started occurring. the PS3 is what, 2 years old and they just now got around to this? BS. Even more than saying they own a patent on the way Sony is burning Blu-ray games…
There are lots of companies (I’m assuming this is one of them) that file lots of patents that cover nearly anything “in-general.” They then target other companies and try and seek some type of compensation. If the said company doesn’t budge (and trust me, Sony won’t) they then try suing them and gaining some media ground on the company.
Likely this will end in some sort of agreement out of court with a decent financial compensation, but if there is little ground to it, this company will retract their suit and Sony will stomp them into the ground.
Screw the story, I had never seen that photo before. That is crazy!
Where is it from?
