What do you mean?  You know as well as I that Nintendo just lost a patent rights case.

Oh, that one, I didn´t know what you were reffering to.

Well yeah, that one (although the whole patent is pretty vague if I remember correctly)

A well deserved victory for Nintendo. LOL at IA Labs.

Now Nintendo can be patent trolls too!

Thanks! I'm not sure if it will stop others from suing them though, god knows how many times Nintendo has been sued for motion controls, have they lost any of the cases? Afaik they haven't. They must have some darn good lawyers.

And follow the great example of Apple. They could also learn how to come up with overpriced tech that people blindly love. And thei brainwashing marketing techniques.

Do you mean the one where they got sued by Tomita Technology for using the parallax barrier screen technology which Nintendo licensed from Sharp for use in the 3DS?

Yeah, that just makes all kinds of sense.  Nintendo licesned technology from a company that already has a parallax barrier screen technology (Sharp used it in their phones too) yet it is a license holder that gets sued by another company. 

You did know Nintendo liscend the rights to the 3D technology from Sharp and had them supply the display screens, didn't you?

To be blunt, it doesn't matter if you like it or even if I like it, the fact is that Nintendo lost that case in court after it was ruled that the solution Nintendo used showed numerous similarities with an existing patent.  Obviously, the judge felt that this had nothing to do with whatever patents Sharp or anyone else might hold.  Now, maybe you know the details of the dispute, even though last I read they hadn't been revealed; regardless, if you want to argue the case, you're going to need to take it to Federal court.  Complaining to me about it on a forum means nothing.

The outcome of the case is not the point.  You suggested that Nintendo deliberately infringed on others.  I pointed out that they had no such intention given that they licsenced technology from Sharp and had them supply the displays.

Nor does one case elimate the fact that they do have a long history of establishing their own patants and respecting the patents from other companies.

And for the record, that courthouse in Marshall, Texas is also a patent troll haven.  A 78% win percentage for patent plaintiffs (antional avg is 20%) and is the second busiest courthouse in the country for patents suits.  Judge Ward himself has almost never sided with anyone but the plaintiff.  Type in Marshall Texas patent and get ready to read hwo many companies are getting screwed.  Including Sony and MS and damn near every tech firm you know and love.

Yeah, it kind of is the point.

Regardless, I was just pointing out that they recently lost a patent case, which kind of makes that PR statement amusing.  I'm not nearly as emotionally invested in this as you are and I'm not going to argue with you about whether they really lost or not.
