Nintendo Finally Wins Wii Lawsuit

Nintendo sued BigBen, claiming the company’s Wiimote copies illegally used Nintendo’s patented technology and stole potential profits from official Nintendo products. BigBen argued that customers would have simply bought similar controllers from another company if theirs weren’t available, meaning Nintendo wouldn’t have necessarily gained those sales. The case had a history of rulings before the latest judgment; in July 2011, a court initially found BigBen guilty of violating Nintendo’s patents, and those findings were consistently confirmed through several appeals.
