Nintendo these days are facing some troubles in the legal world. Recently Nintendo lost a bid to overturn a $21 million patent-infringement verdict therefore facing a ban on sales of the Wavebird, Classic Controller, and Nintendo GameCube controller for the Wii and GameCube.
This case was won by Anascape Ltd and a new trial requested by Nintendo was denied by the Judge. Though, the ban so far has been put on hold for the appeal of Nintendo to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
“Nintendo was already planning to appeal this case to the Federal Circuit court,” Nintendo spokesman Charlie Scibetta said in an e-mailed statement. “The recent ruling by the trial court does not impact that decision.”
Since Wiimote and Nunchuck don’t infringe the patent there shouldn’t be any worries of them being banned.
