I don't know why people in this thread are already downplaying Gamevice so much ...

Are courts NOT supposed to protect the the weak when they have a case ?

Not when it's a case that's purely created out of greed. I mean, Gamevice is going to need to take the stance that Nintendo stole their idea, and I would bet that Nintendo has never even heard of them before.

I assume you didn't see the big picture when making your post? Does this change your opinion?

They do not have to do this: during Nintendo's patent search, they are responsible for finding and disclosing any prior art. If they "stole" it, the only difference would be during assessment of damages, as "willful infringement" garners treble damages (triple compensation).
