Last Wednesday three divisions of Sony Corp. were sued by California based Target Technology Co. for allegedly violating a patent on the silver-based alloy coating used on Blu-ray disks manufactured by Sony. The three divisions accused of the infringement are Sony DADC U.S. Inc., Sony Computer Entertainment of America Inc., and Sony Pictures Inc. The claim asks for damages and the prevention of Sony to use the patent any further.

Wow, Sony sure is keeping themselves in some hot water, but if they keep doing this they will eventually get burned. You would have thought with the recent case with Immersion that Sony would have made sure they wouldn't infringe again, but for the record it is "allegedly" meaning it may not be true.
