Buy Nintendo Wii

Nintendo just can’t catch up with a break as far as lawsuits are concerned. Earlier, in August, Hillcrest Laboratories had filed a suit against Nintendo concerning the motion-sensing aspects of the console and claims that Nintendo infringed upon 4 different patents. ITC (International Trade Commission) had announced that it will conduct a probe in this issue and in the worst case could even ban Wii from the United States. In another case, Anascape had filed a lawsuit where the Wii Classic was threatened to be withdrawn from the market.

Now, the latest suit is from a small company, Motiva, based in Ohio, filed on November 10th, which claims that Nintendo has infringed U.S. patent (7,292,151) titled "Human Movement Measurement System." Motiva is claiming royalties, damages, and attorney fees for their patent, which was originally filed as a rehabilitation aid; however, in the applications section of their patent, they do list video games. So, Nintendo and Motiva will now have to do some courtroom shuffle till this is resolved.
