U.S.
District Court Judge Says No Need for Jury Trial
For the third consecutive time this year, Nintendo has prevailed in a patent
litigation in the U.S. A Maryland U.S. District Court judge has summarily
dismissed a patent infringement lawsuit against Nintendo brought by IA Labs CA,
LLC. IA Labs had alleged that the Wii Balance Board accessory and Wii Fit and
Wii Fit Plus software infringed on one of its patents (U.S. Patent No.
7,121,982).
"Nintendo has a passionate tradition of developing innovative products while
respecting the intellectual property rights of others. We vigorously defend
patent lawsuits when we firmly believe that we have not infringed another
party's patent. We refuse to succumb to patent trolls," said Rick Flamm,
Nintendo of America's senior vice president of Legal & General Counsel.
