Media giants Activision are facing criticism and a lawsuit over the way in which they patented Guitar Hero. "Patent Complience Group," the group behind the lawsuit, is maintaining that the "Patent" and "Patent Pending" on the box is misleading and that Activision don't actually hold the patent or the patent they do hold does not accurately describe the Guitar Hero game/controller.
If found guilty Activision face a $500 fine for every misleading product sold, and as this covers 4 games in this series it could become a costly mistake on their part. However the chances of it ever getting that far are extremely slim, especially when taking into account recent similar cases.
