Microsoft has filed a lawsuit against British gaming peripheral manufacture Datel for allegedly infringing on several design patents from the Xbox 360 controller.
The two Datel third-party controllers brought into question are the "TurboFire" and "Wildfire" designs. The lawsuit states Datel is infringing on a total of six patents filed by Microsoft in 2006. The patents filed mostly deal with the front design and button layout of the controller.
Microsoft is seeking compensatory damages and payments of royalties or profits Datel made from selling those two controllers. Microsoft has also asked for an injunction so Datel can no longer manufacture them.
