Looks like Sega have joined in now. Woe betide anyone making a footballing game on a touchscreen device.

Quote:

Sega is suing Level 5, claiming the Inazuma Eleven series is in violation of two of its patents.

The suit, reported by Yomiuri and translated on NeoGaf, concerns two patents Sega holds governing “the manipulation of a character in game with the usage of a stylus or one’s finger.”

This is starting to become an income stream for companies now.

Still need deep pockets though, the only people who are guaranteed to make money are lawyers.

Wouldn’t surprise me if some of the bigger law firms are proactively promoting reviews of ISP with big companies to generate business.

Patent idiots are the first thing I'm going to sort out when I rule the world.
