Case Update: PPC v. Sony (E.D.Tex, filed 7/26/07)

Parallel Processing Corp. has filed a lawsuit alleging that Sony's PlayStation 3 infringes U.S. Pat. No. 5,056,000, entitled "Synchronized parallel processing with shared memory." Not the sexiest of patents with respect to game console hardware, but given the convergence of game consoles and general purpose computers, it's not surprising.

The lawsuit is Parallel Processing Corp v. Sony Corp. of America, case number 07-353, in
the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, filed July 26, 2007.

We will add this case to our tracking list and keep you posted of new developments.
