I don't think Sony has anything to do with this...

Just because the guy worked at Sony for years doesn't make his patent Sony's patent.

So, you are telling that technically Nintendo didn't copy Sony, but someone else?


Seijiro Tomita, the founder of Tomita Technologies and holder of a glasses-free 3D patent, alleges that neither Nintendo nor Nintendo of America have appropriate licensing to use his invention in the 3DS. He holds patent no. 7,417,664 in the United States and the same patent in Japan.

So, Seijiro Tomita got a good donative from his friend Nintendo.

Juries need to get the hell away from judging these cases. It should be technical and patent experts.

Not sure how you can say this. Reading the patents, it seems clear to me that there was patent infringement by Nintendo. Just take out the parts that clearly have zero relation to the 3DS, insert parts that do, and pretend Nintendo is the one who manufactures the screens.

Basically it's the scumbag sensationalist media blowing stories out of proportion again. They see the guy worked at Sony before so they see a chance to stir up some commotion with SONY VS NINTENDO, with way too much emphasis on the fact that he was a Sony employee before.

Good to see that even judges can be totally dumb people.

Nintendo didnt develop anything they licenced Sharp technology NINTENDO CAN NOT be accused of stealing or patent infrigment or anything like that in this case. The only company that can be sued here would be Sharp.

I mean you invent something I invent something similar and a third person buys from me how can You go and sue the third person? It makes no sense.

I wonder what the requirements for becoming a judge etc are do they accept mentally retarded people nowadays?

Thank god Nintendo wont need to pay this because a smarter judge will change the result of this crap.


P.S. thread name = there you have the reason why people always say Sony fans are the worst. Its not objective its just pure trolling well done :)

The jury passed the judgement - common people like you and me.

Nintendo will appeal - the guy has no case.

So it was in the states then? Didn't bother to remember where that happened.  My bad.

I bet all of the jury people play Playstation at home ;)    Seriously this system seems so flawed when they dont even  use a polygraph to find out wheter or not people are biased.  Add a polygraph test and other tests etc.  and then this system would be flawless.

Why even copy anything 3D related? the technology is garbage IMO.

Yeah ignoring the whole Sony vs. Nintendo issue, stop being developmentally disabled about this case. Sure it's not blatantly obvious patent infringement, but it's infringement none the less. I'm actually somewhat invested in this case personally since I developed 3D viewing technology of my own and have patents in the works.

This can't be true.

As we know Evil Sony is stealing from chronically innocent superinnovative Nintendo,but never ever the other way
I'm pretty sure this is a conspiracy to defame nintendo.


Tomita must have stolen a time machine(developed by Nintendo),went back in time ,stole the 3d patent(developed by Nintendo) came back to present time to sue Nintendo.

The same with Activision.Toys for Bob stole the Pokemon Rumble U gameplay concept in 2013,they took Tomitas time machine ,went back in time and released skylanders in 2007.

The time machine has to be destroyed.Stealing innovations from Nintendo must end.
