Nintendo Sued for Patent Infringement

[Khaotic]

Taken from another forum:

For those who don't check ign, nintendo is being sued by a company for copyright infringment. Apparently some other company had a similar idea to the wii mote before nintendo made the wii. If the company wins, nintendo could actually fall, because they demand:





"The complaint demands that Nintendo be enjoined and restrained from further infringing on the patent, presumably by taking the Wii off the market. Furthermore, the filing demands that the court order Nintendo to pay Interlink three times the assessed damages, including prejudgment interests and attorney fees. Additionally, the plaintiff is demanding a jury trial of any and all issues pertaining to the case"

If the Wii gets pulled that company will literally be burned to the ground.

Not that it'll happen. You can't just pull the Wii!

I heard about this before. It's pretty interesting, but I must say, their Wiimote design looks incredibly uncomfortable.

I saw it last time it was posted, but it would be interesting to see how this turns out.

Hopefully Nintendo can just pay 'em a bunch of money, and give everyone a DS to settle it for them. I think it's a little extreme for them to demand that the Wii be taken off the shelves.

I agree that it looks uncomfortable but you'd be so suprised. Also I think Nintendo won't be beaten as this has happened to many smaller gaming companies in the past and it didn't stop them. (Now unfortunately all the little ones are gone, but hey!!)

My opinion was already stated in the first thread.

[Rainecloud]

Someone should patent patents, and then sue people for patenting things without patent permission.

That's how ridiculous things can get regarding patents. :/

Oh, I'm not saying it wouldn't be a loss.

I'm just saying the hilarity of ten million angry Nintendo fans is clearly gonna outweigh this loss.
