US District Court judge has ruled in favor of Sony in a patent lawsuit. The legal dispute began in 2017 when GET filed a complaint against Sony, seeking $500 million in damages. GET claimed that Sony violated its '730 Patent titled 'Method and Apparatus for Producing a Combined Data Stream and Recovering Therefrom the Respective User Input Stream and at Least One Input Signal.'

GET's complaint primarily focused on the communication method between PlayStation consoles and controllers. They alleged that Sony's devices utilized a unique system, transmitting separate signals at different frequencies for button inputs and motion control input, which they claimed infringed on their patented technology.

However, Sony countered these claims by arguing that GET failed to provide sufficient evidence proving that specific components in their controllers were "structurally equivalent" to the logic diagrams outlined in GET's patent. Following deliberation, the US District Court judge ruled in favor of Sony, stating that there was insufficient evidence to support GET's allegations of patent infringement.
