This could prove problematic for Mazda as well, the RX8 also has variable color instruments if outfitted with the correct specifications.

How about the entire aftermarket industry? A lot of companies make similar light changing backgrounds for all sorts of cars.

It's different when SOny gets royalty for a DVD player because they they patented the DVD player (a device), not just an idea of DVD player. The guy that is suing Ford probably just patented an idea, not a device ...
