No, they are not supposed to protect ANYONE in a civil case. They are supposed to rule according to the law. Being small or weak should not and does not score you any brownie points. And looking at their suit and their device, I don't see a legitimate case. I see a shakedown, born out of the fact their company has not been as successful as they hoped. And THEY'RE the plaintiff. The one with all the burden of proof is them. If this was SO important to them, why not file the case last fall? Or in January? Why wait until NOW? I'll tell you why: they know Nintendo has a ton of money tied up in the Switch and can't change the design now. This is old school intimidation, plain and simple. We've seen it a million times in this industry. |
Getting a first hand look at the product themselves perhaps? The Switch is still very new you know, aswell as the supply issue making it difficult to acquire.
The court system is slow. Make a case now and you'll wait half a year to finally speak to the judge.
This timing isn't off. Of course I don't really see a case anyways. They both likely have a patent for their designs.
