Nintendo Wins Patent Infringement Case Against Wall Wireless

Nintendo has won a patent infringement case in a U.S. District Court in Texas, the company confirmed today.

The case, first brought to light in February 2009 by Wall Wireless LLC, claimed that both the Nintendo DS and DSi consoles had infringed on a patent that the company had owned. After some deliberation, the court dismissed the case on May 19th 2014, with a similar result from the Japanese Patent Office in that Nintendo "does not infringe Wall's Japanese patents".

"Nintendo continues to develop unique and innovative products while respecting the intellectual property rights of others," said Richard Medway, Nintendo of America's vice president and deputy general counsel.
