Nikon files a patent infringement lawsuit in Japan against Sigma over lenses with VR:
�Nikon�s lawsuit seeks an injunction against Sigma�s manufacture and sale of infringing interchangeable lenses with vibration reduction for single lens reflex cameras, along with damages for past infringement.

Update: according to Reuters, Nikon is looking for a compensation of 12.6 billion yen (around 150 million dollars).
