Nintendo prevails in new patent case against Wii U and 3DS
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 5 Comments
On Friday, Nintendo won a patent case held in California federal court. It’s the second time that the company has prevailed against the patent-licensing companies Technology Properties Limited LLC, Phoenix Digital Solutions LLC and Patriot Scientific Corporation.
Ajay Singh, Nintendo of America’s Director of Litigation and Compliance, said of today’s news:
“We are very pleased with this decision, which again confirmed that Nintendo’s products do not infringe. It also confirms that Nintendo continues to develop unique and innovative products while respecting the intellectual property rights of others. Nintendo will defend its products and its innovations, even if it must do so multiple times in different places and over many years.”
Plaintiffs sued Nintendo in California federal court and in the International Trade Commission back in July 2012. But in February 2014, the ITC determined that Nintendo did not infringe the asserted patent. While the plaintiffs chose not to appeal that decision, they insisted on continuing to litigate the same patent and many of the exact same issues before the California federal court. Nintendo has now won that case as well. The court held that Nintendo’s systems, including Wii U and 3DS, do not infringe the asserted patent.

Let’s Talk #30: What are you playing? – November 2015
On Thursday, Nintendo finally presented a new Nintendo Direct. Fans were waiting a long, long time for this one.
The new Nintendo Direct was light on brand new game reveals, but there were still plenty of noteworthy announcements. Zelda: Twilight Princess HD was finally confirmed. The original Pokemon games are finally coming to the 3DS Virtual Console in February. Two Dragon Quest games are heading west next year. And the big one: Cloud is coming to Smash Bros. There were other things mixed in as well like Splatoon gear/maps, new/free DLC for Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, and Pokemon Picross. Heck, we even saw a few more seconds of Zelda Wii U footage, which I think came as a surprise to many.
What did you guys think of the latest Nintendo Direct? Are you satisfied with what was shown? Or were you left wanting more? Any thoughts on specific announcements? Let us know in the comments below!
