U.S. District Court Judge Grants Summary Judgment

REDMOND, Wash., Aug. 1, 2012 – A U.S. District Court judge has summarily dismissed a patent-infringement lawsuit against Nintendo brought by Copper Innovations Group, LLC. Copper had alleged that the Wii console and its controllers infringed on one of its patents (U.S. Patent No. 5,640,152). Judge David Cercone of the U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh granted summary judgment in Nintendo’s favor and ruled that there was no need for a jury trial.

“We are very pleased with the court’s decision,” said Richard Medway, Nintendo of America’s deputy general counsel. “Nintendo has a long history of developing innovative products while respecting the intellectual property rights of others. We also vigorously defend patent lawsuits when we firmly believe that we have not infringed another party’s patent, despite the risks that this policy entails. I would like to express our sincere appreciation for the tireless efforts of our legal team.”

Elsa Garcia Rodriguez Blancas, a gymnast representing Mexico in the Olympics this year, used a unique song for her qualification performance. You wouldn’t normally expect to hear video game music playing during an event like this, but a Zelda medley rang through the arena during her routine.

Take a look at the performance above. You can also listen to the medley in full here.

Between Bayonetta and Viewtiful Joe, Hideki Kamiya would prefer working on the latter. Kamiya told Famitsu this week that he’d like to make a sequel if given the opportunity.

That may be slightly difficult to realize at this time. Kamiya, of course, is no longer with Capcom and is currently leading development of Platinum Games’ new Wii U title, Project P-100, as the game’s director. However, Capcom has been very open to working with outside studios as of late, so maybe another Kamiya-made Viewtiful Joe entry could happen one day.
