The Steam Controller hasn’t been relevant for years, but it’s back in the news again. SCUF is suing Valve for allegedly and knowingly infringing on its patents for video game controllers when it designed the Steam Controller. A jury trial began this week in New York, and the case has already gotten pretty wild.
The accusations come from Ironburg Inventions, the IP-holding branch of controller maker SCUF, Law360 reported.
The trial is taking place on Zoom due to COVID-19 restrictions, with opening arguments seeing Ironburg s lawyer Robert Becker explaining that Valve was warned in 2014 that its Steam Controller, only a prototype then, was featuring the same rear-side control surfaces Ironburg had just patented.
Valve carried on with its prototype though, releasing the Steam Controller in 2015 and selling 1.5 million units as of September 2018.
The patent in question is U.S. Patent No. 8,641,525, which was filed in 2011 by Simon Burgess and Ironburg CEO Duncan Ironmonger. It has since then been licensed to Microsoft for its Xbox controllers.
