Haptic technology maker Immersion said on Tuesday it has settled its legal dispute with Microsoft. The maker of tactile feedback technology for mice and joysticks sued both Sony and Microsoft in 2002 for patent infringement. Though both suits were settled, Microsoft filed a separate suit against Immersion in June 2007 and asked the court to enforce a portion of a sublicensing agreement between the two companies that stated Microsoft would get a portion of Immersion's settlement it received from Sony. Immersion countersued, alleging Microsoft had breached a confidentiality agreement.

God, the lawyers must just love this. They don't care who wins, just so long as everybody keeps suing each other.
