Now it's *really* not deja vu, and your eyes aren't deceiving you. It's just Day 2 (the final day?) of talking about dbrand, the maker of "Darkplates" for Sony's PS5.

Faced with the delivery of a full design patent for the PS5's plates, the company has now said "checkmate, lawyers", by doing just about everything Sony asked of them, including redesigning their product.

Take that, multinational corporation!

Dbrand's defiant, but ultimately compliant...in Virtual Legality.
