Seriously, Gibson. no

How greedy can you get?

Oh, Gibson is suing Activision over Guitar Hero, citing some obscure patent they registered a long time ago. This in spite the fact that Activision already licenses guitar models from Gibson for their controllers. Apparently, that money wasn't enough. Find the story here.


Gibson Guitar Corp. went further with its patent infringement claims regarding Guitar Hero and filed a lawsuit against major retailers selling the game, including Wal-Mart, Amazon, Kmart, GameStop and others. This followed the January 7 lawsuit against Activision, the publisher of the popular game, when Gibson claimed Guitar Hero infringed its patent.

The guitar maker asked the retailers to stop selling the game and even more than that, to remove the game from their store. As it has been reported in the media, Gibson is also seeking damage, but an exact figure hasn?t been specified so far.

The game publisher responded through a public statement, saying: ?Our Guitar Hero retailing partners have done nothing wrong. We will confront this and any other efforts by Gibson to wrongfully interfere with Activision?s relationship with its customers and its consumers.?

Activision responded at the time that the game does not violate any patent of Gibson?s: ?We disagree with the applicability of their patent and would like legal determination on this,? said George Rose, Activision general counsel. Activision also asked one question: why did Gibson decided to wait 3 years before alleging a patent infringement?

According to Gibson, they have a patent for a device that allows a user to play along with a song (or something similar). Gibson says that since this concept is the basis for Guitar Hero, Activision should pay them royalties for the game or stop selling the product.

If you read the original patent, it was meant for recording or something and Gibson's claim that it applies to GH is a bit of a stretch.
