Microsoft and Datel settle lawsuit over Xbox controllers

In April, Microsoft sued the U.K.-based game technology company, which makes controllers that work with Microsoft’s Xbox video game system. Datel makes game system accessories that sell in Walmart, Best Buy and Target stores, and Microsoft said Datel’s “TurboFire” and “Wildfire” controllers infringed on several of Microsoft’s patents for controller design.

Microsoft filed a motion to dismiss with prejudice on Wednesday in the U.S. District Court in Western Washington, according to court documents.

Datel has a comment now.
“It’s a confidential settlement that resulted in the dismissal of the ITC [International Trade Commission] case and the case in the U.K.,” said Marty Glick, attorney for the firm Howard Rice. “The antitrust case which was the first we filed of all of these is still very much full steam ahead.”
