Three years ago Ohio-based technology company Motivia filed a patent lawsuit against Nintendo, alleging the Wii infringed on its ‘Human Movement Measurement System’ patent. Today an International Trade Commission judge ruled that wasn’t the case. Grats, big N.
Earlier this year, Nintendo was on the receiving end of a ruling that the company’s GameCube, Wavebird and Classic Wii controllers were in violation of a patent filing dating back to 2000 for a “3D controller with vibration.” Judgment in the case ruled that Nintendo owes $US21 million in damages to Texas-based firm Anascape Ltd. Today, it would appear that the company’s misfortunes aren’t over, as Motiva, LLC, a “small Ohio technology company,” also claims Wii patent infringement.
