On May 18, 2015, Nintendo defeated a patent case in Seattle federal court. In May 2013, non-practicing entities Ithaca Ventures and Ithaca Development sued Nintendo, alleging that Nintendo’s Wii Balance Board accessory infringed its patent. Nintendo responded by seeking sanctions for filing a meritless case. Ithaca then withdrew its case in Seattle following a finding by a German court that Ithaca’s European patent could not cover the Wii Balance Board, and that Ithaca must pay Nintendo’s attorneys’ fees. Vice President and Deputy General Counsel Richard Medway of Nintendo of America said:
Nintendo will vigorously defend its innovations against patent lawsuits, and will not pay to resolve meritless accusations, no matter whether the case is filed in the United States or elsewhere.
Why is this even a news? Nintendo should have won in a first place. People are hungry for money. $$$
Lazy American!!
Good job, NoA! Defend yourself from those who oppose!
We do it all the time against half the people on this site lol
…
Congrats on losing virginity to puppet.
Well said my fellow Nintendo Ninja. We fight the evil forces of Sony and Microsoft that don’t have a home on their own sites, so he roach our site.
F=ma.
Everybody wants a piece of Nintendo’s money. Lmao. XD
So do I. But instead, I work.
All I want is better options but Nintendo has failed to deliver so fuck them.
I know. It’s sad.
And it’s why I’m sad to say, I’m not even close to being excited for anything new Nintendo brings anymore, not even the oh so mysterious NX which ultimately killed the purpose of owning a Wii U 3 years too early and there’s no New standard 3DS for US in sight and UK still gets better prizes as they continue to hate Nintendo’s guts while the company retardedly ignores it.
Congrats Cap’N.
Nintendo has the best lawyers
It doesn’t matter. American need to get their ass off and work instead of increasing credit card debt.
true
Xbox brand has lost Microsoft billions and billions! And nintendo just profits off hardware thats dated and has no good software. . . XD
yet still sell better than wii u. lmfao. :’D
Damn you would be flat ass poor, if you weren’t already on welfare. roflmfao.
It also means loosing money on each sales of the system.
Your username reminds me of porn film.
The more xb1s sold the worse Microsoft is because they keep losing money hahaha hahaha
The “The more xb1s sold the worse Microsoft is” part of your statement is a flat out lie.
TL;DR: I’m a virgin who faps to 2D object on game screen.
Because, like yours, the mental capacity of US and UK are as comparable as goldfish shit in a bowl.
Good on Nintendo. Seems like they always have a lawsuit to fight.
Sad.
Apple will win if the lawsuit was in U.S. samsungite
You forgot they won that $1 billion lawsuit a while back. lol
No one can take Nintendo’s inovative features! Keep it up Nintendo, keep it up!!
American can’t come up with something innovating; they steal other’s innovation.
I’m talking to you, Apple fanboys.
Windows =\= Mac, iPhone =\= Android, Apple App Store =\= Samsung/Blackberry/Google Play/Marketplace
Try again.
People just register a bunch of patent without making any product
American are educated to plagiarize in school system.
Im waiting for xb1s to be 79.99 lol and I still won’t fuckin buy that cable box
If you weren’t going to buy it why would you wait for it to begin with?
Because he is taundere. He actually wants one.
Wait for it to fail and finally die.
Nintendo Ninjas.
F=ma.
The Empire will crush all trolls.
Wasn’t it pretty obvious Nintendo would win the first place?
On to the next inevitable case…
rekt
These are the worst kind of patent trolls – the companies that scoop up patents and trademarks and don’t even use them (and for patents that are so generic they can technically be applied by some silly definition to other products, or that can hardly be seen as “infringing” based on what companies are actually using them for) just waiting to try to get a lawsuit on someone. Meritless, indeed.
Shitty vanity lawsuits, this should be the resolution to every single one of them, not just declaring that the claim is bullshit, but also forcing the idiots suing to pay for the expenses of the other party.
Greed is humankind’s number one flaw in this global society.
So this and the many other lawsuits against Nintendo’s patents are no surprise.
Ignorance, envy, stupidity, all of the above
>>>Good, now to reclaim the lost resources from that Sonyan scum who won with the 3D patent for some unknown reason>>>
Whoopie doo. :|
It’ll never end I’m afraid. Well, more money and power to Nintendo. You can laugh at their products but don’t scoff their attorneys, you’ll regret and pay for it.
