Nintendo Sued for Patent Infringement

[Eiko Guy]

aint that the tryth

[BatChao]

I think they will probably settle this out of court.

[Devourment]

1. That remote looks s**t all like the Wiimote

2. There's not really that many option for design when you make a remote for something, they're all going to look similar

3. Who was this other company? [I can't view the site] & if this other company isn't anything to do with gaming why the f**k should they be at all fussed about the idea? Apart from using this as an excuse to try & ruin a major gamining company & milk them for thier money.

What a load of b*****s. :rolleyes2

1) It's not appearance, it's function.

2) Doesn't matter if there's only one way in the entire universe to do something, if I get a patent on it, everyone else owes me. And it's still function that matters.

3) Careful, your fanboy is showing.

I am not a fanboy, I don't even own the new Nintendo console. I didn't queue for hours before the release of the Wii, I did not take money out of an account I normally wouldn't to buy it, I did not ask my mum to lend me the money for it, I don't own that many Nintendo games & to be totally honest with you, I'm more disinterested in games now than ever. I can't be arsed for this fanboy rubbish.

I'm just fed up with nonsense. I find the reasons behind this apalling. Just trying to grab some money. I live in England, I'm already fed up with money grabbers. The rubbish to do with all three of the major manufacturers all the hype & arguing. "This is better because it has amazing graphics!!!111!1".. "No, no, no! This is better because, It's got a remote!!11!" ..

It's getting right on my t**s, & so are a lot of other things at this moment in time.

One is essentially required to defend one's copyrights and patents - that's why Disney are such dicks about it, for instance, and sue preschools which paint their characters on the wall or something. Not because they want to be, but because if they let someone violate copyrights, for whatever reason, then someone else who does it and should be taken to task over it has only to point to the case where the law was not enforced, and that's it. The company has to demonstrate a consistent and complete interest in defending their IP, even if that leads them to bring apparently hopeless, pointless, or malicious cases.

If the Wii goes away, what will happen to NiGHTS?



Oh hush. It's not real. But it could be some day. :P

If your talking about that, don't forget SSBB!

[Goldenboko]

We all know that Nintendo is just going to use a sheild of 5 billion lawyers and get away with the Wiimote.

[NINJA_Ryu]

Or stick Mario on thier asses.

Careful man, that guy has some serious 'shooms.

[-N-]

I think they will probably settle this out of court.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about this. Technology patent lawsuits are like a dime a dozen.

Agreed. Give this other company its time to make its noise and I'm sure they'll finally reach a reasonable settlement. No one wants a lengthy court battle. It's just not profitable for either side, I would think.
