Glad Nintendo won. I dislike those companies who just patent something and then sit on them in hopes that someone else infringes on them and becomes successful so they can sue for millions. Although, the patent was about 3D without glasses so Nintendo did infringe on the patent.

Nintendo didn't infringe on them.  If anyone did, it was Sharp.  They provided the parallax barrier screen for the 3DS...and many of their own phones too.  

I never understood that ruling, since Nintendo licensed the tech from Sharp. Was Nintendo supposed to keep track of Sharp's patent infringements as well? Seems silly.

Glad to see Nintendo win this one though, patent trolls suck.
