The Wiimote may not be as unique as we thought. December 8, 2006 - In a surprising turn of events, Nintendo is already the target of litigious action concerning its newly released Wii console. California-based Interlink electronics has filed a complaint against Nintendo for what it has deemed to be a case of copyright infringement over the pointing functionalities of the Wiimote. Gaming blog Kotaku has obtained a court filing, issued by the US District Court of Delaware, which accuses Nintendo of infringing on a patent filed previously by Interlink Electronics. The court filing claims that Interlink Electronics has suffered "loss of reasonable royalties, reduced sales and/or lost profits as a result of the infringing activities of" Nintendo. The claim refers to a patent filed in February, 2005 which refers to a device titled "Trigger Operated Electronic Device." The patent describes the advice as a "trigger operated device in the nature of a pointing device for use with an electronic system such as a computer." The patent continues to describe a device which, on the surface, sounds an awful like the Wii's controller. The complaint demands that Nintendo be enjoined and restrained from further infringing on the patent, presumably by taking the Wii off the market. Furthermore, the filing demands that the court order Nintendo to pay Interlink three times the assessed damages, including prejudgment interests and attorney fees. Additionally, the plaintiff is demanding a jury trial of any and all issues pertaining to the case. 大意就是說 Wiimote 是抄襲已經擁有專利的類似東西.. 如果告成的話, 會要求 Wii 消失在市場上..

Interlink是蟑螂? 我不覺得, 因為一個patent申請不是隨便

現在申請就可以立刻註冊的, 任天堂沒有先作patent調查?

很多人與小公司, 就算沒有技術, 也會申請各種五花八門

因為時間點選得很敏感 應該不會是善意的

一定的啊, 有錢賺為什麼不要? 當初振動專利也是一樣

真的告成的話, 只能說任天堂太不小心

大公司都會有專利部門 專利重複這點都沒察覺的話
12/09 09:43, 15F

12/09 09:44, , 16F
哪只能說這部門白養了 更何況是主打的商品 更應該小心

我猜任天堂如果夠聰明的話大概已經有應對政策了
12/09 09:45, 17F

12/09 09:46, , 18F
如果沒正確的應對政策.讓interlink告成功.那賠錢也是應該的

2005年2月的專利,只要任天堂的技術文件早於他的專利就OK了꜠

這種蟑螂踩死也沒好處 相信任社寧可付錢了事吧

其實也有可能是看Wii聲勢大好,趁機用來提高曝光率的手段吧
12/09 10:35, 25F

像現在大家不就都知道這家公司賣了很像這Wiimote東西了嗎.
