Basically yes.
The way I see it, this goes one of three ways:
1- It's bogus or irrelevant.
2- It's true, but it happened because Sony didn't adequately protect the research being done on their behalf by IBM (Sony's fault). In this case, what's to stop IBM engineers from sharing information among each other in order to not reinvent the wheel?
3- It's true, and it happened despite Sony protecting the research through NDAs and the such. In this case, Sony could press charges against IBM and/or Microsoft. More likely IBM only.
I think 3 is quite unlikely.
