Apparently
"Parallel Processing Corporation is seeking damages and fees, as well as the impounding and destruction of all Sony products infringing on the patent."
The first two are fine if they have a legitimate case, but that last demand is simply crazy. Utterly unenforceable.
done a little more checking

Sony’s patent refers to PPC’s in its submission, think this case is a non runner. In my professional legal opinion that is :P

its funny that they dont mention IBM

LOL its a no runner. But imagine sony losing the court case :O lol as if that would happen though lol

What must be proven is that Sony infringes at least Claim 1 and/or Claim 6 of the patent.
FYI, it’s not because a US Patent Examiner agreed with Sony’s own Patent Counsel about PPC’s patent being prior art back in 2001 or thereabouts, that a Court of Justice could not reverse this finding during litigation.
The fact that Sony has a patent (I imagine they actually have tons) has nothing to do with wether the PS3 infringes PPC’s patent or not: it’s entirely possible that the PS3 could not conform to Sony’s own patent, for all we know.
[personal IBM patent deals experience]
Sure enough, IBM has a Himalaya of patents about parallel processing – but how do you know they’ve not already done a hush-hush deal with Sony a while back? Very much more likely than you’d think.
[/personal IBM patent deals experience]PPC is only looking for a quick cash settlement. Most will dub them a Troll… I just see a business opportunity for PPC :twisted:
