History

[edit | edit source]

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]

[edit | edit source]

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]
