An investor in IMMR shares filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of purchasers of Immersion Corporation (NASDAQ:IMMR) publicly traded securities during the period between May 3, 2007 and June 30, 2009.

Specifically, defendants failed to disclose that Immersion`s revenue recognition practices in its Medical line of business were improper and as a result of defendants` false and misleading statements, Immersion stock (NASDAQ: IMMR) traded at artificially inflated prices between May 3, 2007 and June 30, 2009, reaching a high of $20.50 per share on July 13, 2007, so the lawsuit.
