News: Nintendo cleared of latest patent infringement claims

Added: 14.05.2013 13:56 | 5 views | 0 comments


Motiva filed suit back in 2008 relating to the tracking of player movement and position.

However, the Court of Appeals agreed with the International Trade Commission that Nintendo did not infringe on the patents, with the judge describing Motiva's litigation as being "targeted at financial gains".

"We are very pleased with this result, said Nintendo of America's deputy general counsel Richard Medway. "The court confirmed that Motiva's sole activity, litigation against Nintendo, did not satisfy the ITC's domestic industry requirement.

Nintendo wins appeal in Wii court case

Added: 14.05.2013 11:39 | 2 views | 0 comments


Nintendo did not infringe on patents with the Wii, rules court.

The United States Court of Appeals has upheld a previous ruling that Nintendo did not infringe on patents held by Motiva LLC.

The US International Trade Commission said in January that Motiva's sole use of its patents was to engage in a lawsuit against Nintendo, and subsequently ruled in favour of the Mario owner.

The lawsuit had been ongoing since 2008 when Motiva sued Nintendo, with the latter company arguing that the former had no intention of using the patents to either create its own product or license the products to another company.

Motiva held U.S. Patent numbers 7,292,151 and 7,492,268, which was involved a peripheral for measuring the movement of its user.

"Motiva was never close to launching a product incorporating the patented technology--nor did any partners show any interest in doing so, for years before or any time after the launch of the Wii. Motiva#146;s only remaining prototype was a product far from completion, and a multitude of development and testing steps remained prior to finalising a product for production. Moreover, the evidence demonstrated that Motiva#146;s litigation was targeted at financial gains, not at encouraging adoption of Motiva#146;s patented technology," wrote Circuit Judge Sharon Prost .

"We are very pleased with this result," said Nintendo deputy general counsel Richard Medway in a press release. "The court confirmed that Motiva's sole activity, litigation against Nintendo, did not satisfy the ITC's domestic industry requirement."

"Nintendo has a passionate tradition of developing innovative products while respecting the intellectual property rights of others. We vigorously defend patent lawsuits when we firmly believe that we have not infringed another party's patent."

Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds Pixel Judge retro review

Added: 12.05.2013 21:17 | 7 views | 0 comments


Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds is perhaps the best known of the Star Wars RTS games. Built on the Genesis Engine (most famous for the first two Age of Empires Games), it covered a series of six campaigns surrounding the original movies, as well as Episode 1, and ranging from the Gungan resistance against the Trade Federation, to Darth Vader exacting revenge for the destruction of the original Death Star, to Chewie and Han leading a revolt against the Imperial remnant on Kashyyyk. The expansion - Clone Campaigns - added two new campaigns built around the end of Episode 2 and the Clone Wars, which were unique in that they were tied closely together by recurring characters and plot points. The campaign missions are fun, require a good amount of thought to complete, and almost every mission has some nice little Easter eggs that contain scenes from the movies, and in one case changes the mission objectives completely.
