QuoteKonami is demanding cash compensation, plus an order that would block Viacom and Harmonix from using the inventions, according to the complaint, filed yesterday in federal court in Marshall, Texas. The suit names Harmonix Music Systems, Viacom, and Viacom?s MTV Networks Co., which owns Harmonix.

Why would they work on a game for a poopload of money when they can get the same amount by suing HMX?
