Nintendo Sued Again | |
![]() Nintendo is facing a new lawsuit based on technology contained in its popular Wii console, only months after resolving a legal dispute over the system's wireless controllers. Lonestar Inventions has previously sued Texas Instruments, Marvell Semiconductor and Eastman Kodak over the same technology. While the company doesn't maintain an online presence, a search of Google reveals that the company has sued Texas Instruments and Marvell Semiconductor previously, as well as other companies, in unrelated cases of copyright infringement. In December of last year, Nintendo was sued by California-based Interlink Electronics over the trigger in the bottom of the Wii motion-sensing controller. That lawsuit was settled in March when Interlink voluntarily withdrew the case. A Nintendo representative said the company does not comment on ongoing legal matters. | |
Have Lonestar Inventions even built anything or just theorized this patent and just sat on their ass for someone to stumble upon it? My money on the latter, freaking patent trolls they even tried this with AMD! | |
