Seattle Federal Court Dismisses Wii Motion Plus Patent Lawsuit Filed Against Nintendo

wii-motionplus-big

A patent-infringement lawsuit brought against Nintendo of America was dismissed by a federal judge in Seattle. Triton had alleged that Nintendo’s Wii MotionPlus accessory infringed one of Triton’s patents (U.S. Patent No. 5,181,181). Judge Richard A. Jones of the U.S. District Court dismissed the lawsuit following a ruling that rejected Triton’s legal arguments. Triton had initially filed suit in Texas, but Nintendo won a transfer to Seattle.

“We feel vindicated by the court’s ruling,” said Richard Medway, Nintendo of America’s deputy general counsel. “Nintendo’s track record demonstrates that we vigorously defend patent lawsuits, like the Triton lawsuit, when we believe that we have not infringed another party’s patent. Consumers respect Nintendo because we develop unique and innovative products, and because we respect the intellectual property rights of others.”

        1. You seem to be scared about dissing Sony. As soon as you do I’ll just own your faggit ass. Sony>Nintendo umad? Umad? Umad? No one here likes microshit you can stop using them in your argument. :)

            1. That’s all you say. Clearly I’ve won this because you can’t come up with anything good. Gg I had fun owning your bitch ass. On to the next delusional fanboy. :)

              1. Clearly you haven’t because you’re still mad and still whining.
                All you’ve got is the same tired lines every troll uses.
                Come up with something original if you wanna win, troll-fag, because you ain’t got game.:P

                1. Your still replying to me. Clearly I’ve gotten under your skin. Which is a trolls main goal. You failed little boy.

              2. i’m mad because you didn’t pull my dick out of your butt and i’m still fucking your asshole hard, hope you enjoy my cum inside of your anus hole

              1. Yeah right , 64 had better games than ps1 which also had great games , the ps2 vs gc you can’t actually one is better than the other as they are both great , ps3 vs wii , do you even have to bring that up

          1. Go to a sony page troll… fucking loser. Sony dont own shit but a picture of Iwata which they use every night to wack off.

      1. You can’t even spell Nintendo right when the word is in your face. Go back to your elementary summer school kid.

  1. we have to admit one thing… Nintendo may not have the most power houses.. but they have the best lawyers.. lol

    1. Best lawyers because they’re the best ethical practices in the entertainment business. All the patent crybabies can target Nintendo all they like. But one thing that Nintendo has as an advantage is originality. Sony/Microsoft on the other hand… 8/

          1. Sony shits on Nintendo? LMAO keep dreaming… I will kill myself in a world where cutscenes and cgi becomes the new way to game! Fuck that. If sony doesnt innovate past this shit, there is no competition for Nintendo.

      1. Yeah but who kicked Sony/Microsoft’s ass with an “inferior” console and handhelds for the past 7 years? All for Nintendo and who has common sense over “Justin Bieber” fangirlism, raise your hand. *raises*

  2. another lawsuit…………..what is it with nintendo getting sued these days ,well , at least they keep winning

    1. That’s nothing compare to the rate of lawsuits Apple receives every week. Besides, this lawsuit was dated back years ago and now finally comes to a close in Nintendo’s favor because unlike their competition, they’re more original and thats why lawsuits to them is just a waste of time.
