We are talking about additional buttons on the back of the Steam Controller, which SCUF Gaming considered a copy of their design.
The court sided with SCUF Gaming and ordered Valve to pay $ 4 million, although the patent owners asked for $ 6 to $ 11 million.
However, the court called Valve’s violation intentional, which would allow the judge to potentially increase the damages Valve must pay if he considers the crime to be “egregious.”
As a reminder, the Steam Controller was discontinued in November 2019.
