Microsoft’s Video Game System Accused of Infringing Biofeedback Monitoring Patent

May 29, 2014

Microsoft’s video games and game consoles are at issue in the first suit filed by BioControl, LLC. The entity is asserting a single patent that it purchased from the inventor in 2011, the same year it filed incorporation papers (5,647,834). The patent, which relates to monitoring various types of biofeedback to evaluate a subject’s emotional state, has not been asserted in litigation. The suit specifically accuses Microsoft’s Kinect service on Xbox and Kinect games of infirming the patent-in-suit. BioControl’s address matches the one listed for Wellogix, a failed operating company that asserts its patents under the name Wellogix Technology Licensing. 5/23, Eastern District of Texas, 2:14cv00640
