Laura Peter joined Immersion in 2005 in the midst of a heated patent fight that ended with Sony agreeing to pay a $97 million judgment and $53 million in royalties. By the time Peter left in August of this year, she'd become a central part of the tiny company's aggressive licensing and litigation program.

When tiny Immersion Corp. had finally beaten Sony in a long, ugly patent fight, the company’s general counsel, Laura Peter, gave CEO Vic Viegas a white cowboy hat.
She presented it to Viegas at a celebration at the CEO’s peninsula home in the spring of 2007 after Sony said it would drop all appeals and pay the San Jose, Calif., company $150 million to end five years of take-no-prisoners litigation.
