Defendant
1 case as defendant.
PlayStation Mobile Inc. ("PS Mobile") is a US-incorporated publishing and mobile-games entity within Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE), itself a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Group Corporation (NYSE: SONY). Its registered address is 2207 Bridgepointe Parkway, San Mateo, California. It is not separately publicly traded and publishes no standalone financials or headcount; SIE reports its results only inside Sony Group's consolidated filings. I could not verify a distinct incorporation date for the legal entity from a primary source.
Operations. PS Mobile publishes PlayStation applications and mobile titles rather than manufacturing hardware. Reported output includes the PlayStation App, PS Remote Play, the mobile titles Uncharted: Fortune Hunter and Run Sackboy! Run!, the God of War | Mimir's Vision AR app, and PS4 PlayLink titles such as Hidden Agenda and Erica. Sony has also used the entity to publish console games on PC, including Horizon, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, and Days Gone. Trade coverage describes a Sony mobile division (variously reported as PS Mobile / PlayStation Studios Mobile) seeking to license and adapt major PlayStation franchises for smartphones, with studio acquisitions contemplated. It is distinct from the earlier PlayStation Mobile platform (formerly PlayStation Suite), a Vita/Android cross-platform service discontinued in 2015.
Litigation posture. Per the tracked data, PlayStation Mobile Inc. has one case, as a defendant, and zero as plaintiff — the profile of an operating company defending, not an asserter. The suit was filed by Uniloc USA, Inc. and Uniloc Luxembourg, S.A., a well-known patent assertion entity whose portfolios have been publicly challenged by Unified Patents and others.
Notable case. Uniloc USA, Inc. et al. v. PlayStation Mobile Inc. et al., No. 2:16-cv-00732 (E.D. Tex., Marshall Division), filed July 2016 before Judge Rodney Gilstrap and consolidated into lead case 2:16-cv-00642 against Samsung and other defendants. The asserted patents (US 8,243,723; 8,724,622; 8,995,433; 7,535,890) concern messaging and push-notification technology; the case involved secondary liability theories over PlayStation messaging apps. The parties stipulated to dismissal with prejudice on February 5, 2024, each bearing its own costs. The Eastern District of Texas venue is consistent with Uniloc's broader filing pattern.
Member case consolidated into lead No. 2:16-cv-00642. Patents-in-suit included '723, '622, '433, and '890. Dismissed with prejudice by joint stipulation, each party to bear its own costs and fees.
