Source excerpt
SCUF, a well-known custom controller company that was recently acquired by CORSAIR, has won a legal case against Valve.
At the time, the company was warned about a patent held by Ironburg Inventions.
Valve attempted to argue that its back buttons were different to what was detailed in the patent, but after a week-long trial with a jury present, Valve was found guilty of patent infringement. US District Judge, Thomas Zilly, ruled that Valve must pay $4 million USD due to this.
