A federal court jury has awarded Texas-based firm Anascape Ltd. with a $21 million settlement for Nintendo of America Inc. infringing upon patents related to the Wii Classic, WaveBird, and Gamecube controllers. Nintendo plans to appeal the decision.

Tyler-based Anascape also sued Microsoft Corp. for patent infringements on game controllers but reached an agreement with the company before the start of the trial against Nintendo, The Lufkin Daily News reported. Microsoft said in a statement that terms of the settlement reached May 1 were confidential.

...do or do not, there is no try.

Way to go Nintendo...stealing other people's ideas and using them in your system.

Wireless controllers are now considered a new technology, cuno?

Funny you leave MS out of the picture....

Also ironic that the company didn't sue them when the product originally came out. Hint hint....money hungry lawsuit as usual.

Great. Create a patent for something already created then sue the pants off whoever is "infringing on your creation".

Patent infringement lawsuits. . . Greed at it's worst.
