Nintendo Defeats Wall Wireless in Patent Court Case

The United States Patent and Trademark Office has officially cancelled a patent infringement case against Nintendo from the Wall Wireless company. The case was first brought up in February 2009 and stated that the Nintendo DS and DSi systems infringed a patent by the company, but it has been officially dismissed as of May 19. Read on for Nintendo's official statement on the case.


“We are very pleased to see the U.S. case dismissed, and also to have the Japanese Patent Office confirm that Nintendo does not infringe Wall’s Japanese patents,” said Richard Medway, Nintendo of America’s vice president and deputy general counsel. “Nintendo vigorously defends patent lawsuits and other proceedings when we believe we have not infringed another party’s patents. It does not matter where such cases are filed or if it takes more than five years to vindicate our position. Nintendo continues to develop unique and innovative products while respecting the intellectual property rights of others.”
