Konami takes Harmonix to court over Rock Band
Filed under: News
When the video game music genre gets too tough to compete, Konami has a master plan. They state screw trying to develop something new and innovative or even attempting to replicate their competitors. Why go through all that work when you can sue?
This past Wednesday in a Texas District Court, Konami filed a lawsuit against Harmonix, MTV Games and EA claiming that Rock Band infringes on three of their patents. Specifically, Konami claims that several of their patents from older titles like Guitar Freaks, Drummania, and Pop’n Music were ignored and therefore Rock Band is a franchise based on lies and deceit. What happend to the whole idea of music bringing people together?
