Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) and Datel Design and Development Inc. settled patent-infringement and antitrust litigation, according to Dec. 30 court filings.
The suits were related to the Xbox 360 video-game system.
Datel, based in Staffordshire, England, sued Microsoft in federal court in San Francisco in November 2009, claiming that an upgrade issued by Microsoft was intended to disable Datel products.
Microsoft then sued Datel in federal court in Seattle in December 2010. The Redmond, Washington-based company claimed Datel infringed patent 7,787,411, which covers a protocol for peripheral devices used with a wireless gaming console.
Datel then redesigned its controllers and stopped importing versions known as TurboFire2 Xbox 360 Wireless that were at the heart of a complaint before the U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington. In August, Microsoft withdrew its infringement case, while still pursuing compensation for past infringement.
Microsoft spokesman Kevin Kutz confirmed the confidential settlement of the litigation, saying the terms were “to the satisfaction of both parties.”
The patent case is Microsoft Corp. v. Datel Design and Development Inc., 2:10-cv-02065-JLR, U.S. District Court, Western District of Washington (Seattle).
The antitrust case is Datel Holdings Ltd. v. Microsoft Corp., 3:09-cv-05535-EDL, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California (San Francisco).
