First Zoom patent jury trial sees Valve fined $4 million
05-02-2021
Valve has been fined $4 million after being found to have infringed a video game controller patent.
Ironburg Inventions, the IP holding arm of hardware manufacturer SCUF, filed the suit against Valve in 2017, claiming that the company’s Steam Controller infringed its rear-fitted paddle lever controller.
The trial was the first of its kind to take place over Zoom, ending in Valve being ordered to pay $4,029,533.93, with the possibility of supra-compensatory damages.
“Valve did know that its conduct involved an unreasonable risk of infringement, but it simply proceeded to infringe anyway the classic David and Goliath story: Goliath does what Goliath wants to do,” said Ironburg’s lawyer Robert Becker, according to VGC.
