These patent claims are filed against companies every year, and none of them ever hold. Remember the one against Blu-ray last year that was supposed to completely stop production of PS3s and Blu-ray products? It's just another frivolous lawsuit. Welcome to the modern world.

it seems pretty serious with the ITC actual taking intrest the ITC has the power to block shipments and pull them all off the shelves if it sees what it thinks is infringment, and they normaly dont take intrest in cases until it is almost certin a ruling will be made for the plantif

 

 Having been in the ITC for three seperate trials and invovled in four trials there. I can state with certainity that the ITC is a more serious matter than some court in Marshall Texas.

 

However in the cases I have been involved in we have succesfully blocked the shipments of certain imported cartridges. We have not only defended our clients patents but also invalidated their patents as knowledge common in the field. We have also just defended another patent.

A case in the ITC is by no means a slam dunk for the plantiffs it is however a serious matter. The ITC is an adminstrative court with a judge and a committee. I love the ITC cases they are so exciting and very busy.

This lawsuit has no chance. Miyamoto originally conceived the idea for motion controls on November 5, 1995 when he slipped and bumped his head while standing on his toilet to hang a clock:

"That was the day I invented motion controls. I remember it vividly. I was standing on the edge of my toilet hanging a clock, the porcelain was wet, so I slipped, fell, hit my head on the sink, and when I came to... I had a vision! A revelation! A picture in my head! A picture of this... this is what makes motion control possible... The Wiimote." - Shigeru Miyamoto

 

LOL, so who had the idea of the Nes Power Glove?

So the people that were asking if people still thought the wii wouldn't win this gen and laughing if people said something could happen might be kicking themselves if the Wii gets pulled.... who'd of thunk. (i don't think the wii will get pulled though)

Nothing will happen, stuff like that happens every year, to all successful companies.
