Nintendo has gladly announced their vindication in a recent lawsuit brought against them by company Anascape, Ltd. Anascape believed many of Nintendo’s controllers infringed on their patent. The company specifically targeted Nintendo’s Wii Remote, Nunchuk, Nintendo Gamecube, Wii Classic Controller and Wavebird controllers.
A jury in 2008 found that Nintendo was not in violation of patent infringement with their Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers, but the latter three controllers were deemed in violation. Today, the Court of Appeals reversed this decision, claiming that Nintendo’s creations do not infringe on any existing patents.
Looks like Nintendo is jumping up and down with the verdict of Anascape, Ltd. v. Nintendo of America Inc.
