The capabilities of wireless devices are simply amazing. They make life easy and less of a hassle for gamers and nongamers alike. Gone are the days when we often send the kids over to turn the channels on the television set or hit the play button on a VCR.

It’s a race to see who can come up with the latest and greatest technology to make our lives more comfortable than the last. But when someone’s latest and greatest is already on the shelves, created by someone else. Someone’s feelings are bound to get hurt.

Just after the holidays, Copper Innovations Group, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Sony for the Sixxas controller and Nintendo for its Wii remote on December 27, 2007 with the Pennsylvania Western District Court in Allegheny county for a patent made in 1996. The 1996 invention in question is a wireless remote that allows the user to interact with their computer system.

Not much is known about Copper Innovations Group, but should they win the lawsuit Sony and Nintendo would be made to pay monetary damages to the company as well as be ordered to stop infringing upon the patent. This wouldn’t be the first time fur Sony after being sued for their rumble-attack technology for the PS1 and PS2 consoles. The result of that case was Sony forced to pay up to $100 million in damages and interests.
