Valve has lost a lawsuit from Ironburg Inventions, parent company of SCUF Gaming. Valve will pay at least $4M in damages to the company after a jury unanimously voted that Valve's use of back paddle technology on its Steam Controller was willful patent infringement. SCUF Gaming has had a patent for the back paddle technology since 2011 when the controllers made the scene and provided additional functionality to enthusiast players willing to pay a premium for a controller with additional bells and whistles to enhance gameplay.
