    "The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld Nintendo’s victory in a patent-infringement case brought against Nintendo by IA Labs CA, LLC. The Court of Appeals agreed with the lower court that Nintendo did not infringe IA Labs’ patent (U.S. Patent No. 7,121,982), and it upheld the lower court’s ruling that IA Labs must pay Nintendo more than $236,000 in attorneys’ fees."
    “We are very pleased with the court’s decision. Nintendo has a long history of developing innovative products while respecting the intellectual property rights of others. We also vigorously defend patent lawsuits, like the IA Labs lawsuit, when we firmly believe that we have not infringed another party’s patent.”
    - Richard Medway, Nintendo of America’s deputy general counsel.

    Ah, good to know Nintendo can win lawsuits these days.
    I don't see why they would use someone else's patent either.

    From how it read; the company claimed that they did the Wii balance board thing first when we all know that Nintendo did it first anyway. Also LOL that quote about patient trolls made me lmao. xp

    Basically IA Labs claimed that Nintendo had basically copied them with the Wii Balance Board, 
    Wii Fit, Nunchuck, Wii Remote, MotionPlus and Zapper.

    Read the link in the quote.
