Quote:The case revolves around US patents 6,275,213 and 6,424,333 which cover "haptic feedback," which entails the use of computer-controlled vibrating motors to provide tactile feedback to the user of a program.

... doesn't help much, really...

Immersion Corporation patented force feedback: controllers which move in reaction to some kind of signals sent by the software. The main original uses were force-feedback joysticks and force-feedback racing wheels -- that'd move against you to make it a more realistic experience. Their case here is obviously that rumble controllers are close enough to that to infringe, and the courts agree...
