Lol it begins again.  Is there a video game company that has been sued more than Nintendo has over the last 25 years?

Not to mention Nintendo shouldn't be the one liable for this.  Should be the screens manafacturer.

Iwata was mentioning in his letter to shareholders the litigious nature of these bullshit people

Let me guess, another patent squatter who patents technologies and then sit on their asses until somebody actually comes up with the tech on their own and uses it, then sues the company to either get a settlement or royalties. A quick Google search shows nothing other than websites reporting this lawsuit, have they actually done anything?

Good thing I got my patent for a time machine in early. Come 2050, I'm going to make BANK.

Sounds like someone who's too damn lazy to get off their ass and do some REAL work. So they're trying this crap.

Once the prototype of my Time Machine is completed I'm coming back to eliminate the events which lead to you getting that patent...

Anyways this whole lawsuit interests me, I wonder if it has any weight behind it and is a solid case at all?

Tech and Software patents are given by idiots who don't know the industry.  Doubly linked lists got patented... Its the logical next step from Linked Lists.  Its obvious...

I'm gonna patent "thumb up my ass" technology.  So nobody infridge upon that cause i thought of it first

There are always those idiots out there who try to piggyback on the success of others when they make it big. It's like money is the only thing that matters these days- people are too dang greedy, so they mooch off of others. Remember the Chili Finger 'Incident' at Wendy's? Or how many times Facebook has been sued? And even Nintendo. It's human nature- someone will ALWAYS get sued whenever new technology is invented. People are dumb like that.... :/

I believe the technical term is patent troll.
