Wii patent lawsuit dismissed
A company called Fenner Investments Ltd. decided to sue Nintendo, claiming that their GameCube and Wii controllers infringed on one of their patents. US District Court Judge Leonard Davis of Tyler, Texas didn’t agree, and dismissed the case on Monday. Rick Flamm, NOA Senior Vice President (Legal & General Counsel) was obviously happy with the judge’s decision.
We are very pleased with the court’s decision. Nintendo has a long history of developing innovative products while respecting the intellectual property rights of others. We also vigorously defend patent lawsuits when we firmly believe that we have not infringed another party’s patent, despite the risks that this policy entails. I would like to express our sincere appreciation for the tireless efforts of our legal team, which represented us so well.
That’s one lawsuit down, a million more to go.
So uh
They waited 7 years for part of that lawsuit?
So did everyone else.
Is Mega64 a lawsuit against Nintendo? It was listed on the search for lawsuits.
Hey Doc, this is the one I kept thinking the other lawsuit was. You know how funny the patent was on the controllers? The company apparently patented a vibrating controller. I don’t know how they managed to patent a general concept, it’s like me patenting a quantum computer so I make profits when they’re invented. I’m glad Nintendo won.
