Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 3 Comments
Nintendo has prevailed in a patent infringement case against International Trade Commission. Patent-licensing companies Technology Properties Limited LLC, Phoenix Digital Solutions LLC and Patriot Scientific Corporation brought on the case.
In the ruling, it was determined that the 3DS – as well as DSi – does not infringe the asserted patent.
Richard Medway, Nintendo of America’s vice president and deputy general counsel, said of the verdict:
“We are very pleased with the commission’s determination, which confirmed the judge’s finding that Nintendo’s products do not infringe the asserted patent. Nintendo’s track record demonstrates that we vigorously defend patent lawsuits, including cases in the ITC, when we believe we have not infringed another party’s patent. Nintendo continues to develop unique and innovative products while respecting the intellectual property rights of others.”
