A patent expert has called Sony 'childish', 'stupid' and 'unprofessional' for referring to rival console manufacturers as 'inferior' in its patent applications.
“Hat tip to GameRant, but this is not new,” Mueller says in his blog. “It’s long-standing Sony practice. They’ve been doing this since at least 2011.”
Mueller explains that it’s common and legitimate for some patents to explain why the invention is superior to what’s already available, in order to prove why it should be patented. “But calling competitors generally ‘inferior’ is gratuitous, stupid, childish, and unprofessional,” he adds. “If Sony wants to engage in comparative advertising, it can do so elsewhere. Gamers are not going to make purchasing decisions based on the language Sony uses in its patent applications.”
