Nintendo loses patent suit
Nintendo has been ordered to pay $21 million to a Texas company in a suit involving patents used in technology behind the company’s Wii and GameCube systems, the Associated Press reported.
Anascape, a Lufkin, Texas-based company, sued Nintendo in 2006. A Texas jury ruled in Anascape’s favor on Wednesday.
Anascape had also also sued Microsoft over the patents, but settled with the company before the case went to trial last week, according to a report in the Lufkin Daily News.
Representatives of Nintendo and Microsoft could not immediately be reached for comment.
