Nintendo Out Maneuvers Wall Wireless
REDMOND, Wash.--(May 19,
in the year of our Lord 2014)-- Nintendo has won a
patent infringement case in a U.S. District Court in Texas. The
case was brought in February 2009 by Wall Wireless, LLC, which
claimed that the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi systems infringed
a patent. Wall Wireless is a company in the Wireless
Telecommunications Carriers (except Satellite) Industry. The
court dismissed the case on May 19, 2014, after the United
States Patent and Trademark Office canceled all the patent
claims Wall Wireless was relying on in its case.
This dismissal follows a decision by the Japanese Patent Office,
which also found that Nintendo’s products do not infringe Wall’s
Japanese patents.
“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.”
