Another fraud patent troll lawsuit, another victory for Nintendo. Another “company” was suing Nintendo for supposedly infringing on their patents for the DS, DSi. 3DS and GBA handhelds. However, a judge dismissed the lawsuit. Nintendo released a short statement on the victory.
“We are very pleased to have this case dismissed,” said Devon Pritchard, Nintendo of America’s General Counsel and Senior Vice President of Business Affairs. “The result in this case continues to prove that Nintendo will vigorously defend its innovations against patent lawsuits and will not pay to settle cases simply to avoid litigation. Nintendo continues to support patent reform efforts that reduce the unnecessary and inefficient burden cases like this one place on technology companies in the United States.”
