Since the PlayStation 5 was officially announced, several companies have emerged that offered to sell custom cases to replace the one that comes by default with each console. However, Sony’s legal team eventually forced all of these companies to suspend the sale of the product, but one, in particular, did not give up.
PlayStation was one of the first companies to offer these types of products, but after a threat from Sony, they had to change their name to Customize My Plates, although that was not enough and the Japanese technology ended up suspending the sale of their cases anyway. . Well, now they are back under the name CMP Shells and claim to have found a way to circumvent Sony’s legal team.
On their website you can read the following:
“The patent is pending, and all sales that are finalized before it is approved are untouchable. It is something we did not know before. Now we know. Also, we have not imitated the design under the ownership of anyone. Our housings improve the original ones allowing superior ventilation. We will be able to sell them even after the patent is approved. “
Their strategy, as you can see, is to patent their housings, implying that they will improve the ventilation of the system. As long as a patent is under review, there is nothing Sony can do to suspend its sales. Now let’s see if this strategy works for them or if they will now give up.
