Remember the lawsuit filed against Nintendo by Fenner Investments, claiming that the Wii, its controllers and even the GameCube’s controller violated a few of their patents? Turns out that they didn’t, so a U.S. District Court judge dismissed the case. Here’s what NOA’s Senior Vice President had to say about the outcome:
“We are very pleased with the court’s decision,” said Rick Flamm, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President, Legal & 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, which represented us so well.”
