Pikachu Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200121005420/en/ Quote On Jan. 17, a federal court in Dallas ruled that a patent asserted against Nintendo’s Wii Remote was not valid. The court concluded that iLife Technologies Inc. was impermissibly trying to cover the broad concept of using motion sensors to detect motion. The ruling nullifies a $10.1 million jury award against Nintendo from 2017. The invalidated patent was the last of six patents that iLife Technologies Inc. originally asserted against Nintendo in 2013. The Patent Office found the other five invalid in 2016. “Nintendo has a long history of developing new and unique products, and we are pleased that, after many years of litigation, the court agreed with Nintendo,” said Ajay Singh, Nintendo of America’s Deputy General Counsel. “We will continue to vigorously defend our products against companies seeking to profit off of technology they did not invent.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxEvil AshxX Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 If the lawsuit was frivolous, then yay, I guess. They have every right to defend their properties, but Nintendo's been ignoring Fair Use laws for years now and issuing DMC takedowns over fan projects and other stuff. One day they're going to get caught with their pants down, and I won't feel sorry for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodimus Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 They sound like patent trolls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
