Nintendo Wins Another Patent Battle - Sony and Microsoft to Follow?

A lawsuit by Fenner Investments Ltd. of Texas against Nintendo alleging patent infringement has been dismissed by U.S. District Court.

The judge granted summary judgment in favour of Nintendo on March 17, 2009, but has yet to rule on the merits of the case against Sony and Microsoft, also named in the suit.
