As for any potential lawsuits from the PS5 manufacturer, CMP claims that its pending patent for the shells will keep it out of Sony’s legal crosshairs.
“The patent is pending and all sales finalized before it’s approved are untouchable,” the company said on its website. “We didn’t know before. Now we do.
