Interlink Electronics, Inc.[1] is a technology company that specializes in manufacturing sensors that are used in electronic portable devices, such as smartphones, GPS systems, and in industrial computers and systems controls.
History
[edit]Interlink was founded on April 30, 1996,[1] and released the first force-sensing resistor for commercial use in 1977.[2][3]
In 2001, Interlink helped Microsoft design the controller for the Xbox.[4]
Legal
[edit]Interlink Electronics filed a patent-infringement lawsuit against Nintendo in December 2006 over the pointing functionality of the Wii Remote, claiming "loss of reasonable royalties, reduced sales and/or lost profits as a result of the infringing activities" of Nintendo.[5][6] The lawsuit was dismissed by Interlink in March 2007.[6][7]
