If Apple can sue HTC for 20 iPhone patents infringment (http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2010/03/02patents.html ) there is something that Nintendo can't do.

All this imitation can't just be created and launched just like that.

For an instance I just hate Nintendo to be so dumb about their creations and not taking the necessary measures to prevent blatant copy.

How about you take a few years, go to law school, and figure it out.  just because two scenarios seem similar doe snot make them identical so you haven't shown a logical comparrison.

are you seriously suggesting that of all the highly skilled lawyers in the world, not to mention Nintendo's own interest in protecting their ideas, that if there was a case here you have identified it with your apparent lack of knowledge of the law and yet those skilled profesional can't figure it out.

the answer is simple -- because there is no infringement.  case closed.

Well coming from someone whose majority of cases are IP. I can tell you that the Apple/HTC suit isn't THAT much different from nintendo suing Sony over the ARC. I say that much difference as I think Apple would have a better case but after reading the patents involved in the HTC matter Apple really seems to be reaching.

 

not having a great case doesn't prevent anyone from suing and hoping to convince a judge of their argument.  take the ridiculous Lindsey Lohan suit just filed. sure, they can sue, but just because they can doesn't mean their argument is valid. 

This is very true. In the US you can sue anybody for anything of course if you really did that the case would be thrown out on summary judgement or in some case the plaintiff would have to foot the bill for the entire trial including attorneys fees. 

Suing over patents you also risk the chance of invalidating your patents while this does not happen often, I have seen it a few times for different reasons. I've even seen big companies have some patents invalidated.
