Shulk 8,623 Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/06/philips_secures_wii_patent_victory_over_nintendo_in_the_uk I really hope that Nintendo's appeal works. The patents that Phillips is trying to sue Nintendo over don't even apply to the Wii or Wii U. -_- Phillips is pissing me off.

Dio Brando 5,810 Posted June 20, 2014 God I hate Philps so much right now. Btw,you should put UK in the title as Philps only won their patent there and not yet in other countries Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shulk 8,623 Posted June 20, 2014 Patent trolls, patent trolls everywhere. You're forgetting that Phillips is a large company, unlike most patent trolls that go after Nintendo. Not to mention that the patent trolls rarely win. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dio Brando 5,810 Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Patent trolls, patent trolls everywhere. I really hope that the penalty won't be too much cuz I'm soo pissed off right now I'm sure that Phillips bribed some people to get their bullshit patent through cuz there is no other way Edited June 20, 2014 by Annoying D Waluigi 1 OmegaForte reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firaga 5,947 Posted June 20, 2014 So this guy wants patents for a console that's already 5 years old and considered last-gen. I don't see the logic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is bullshit and doesn't make any sense the Wii is last gen.... This whole thing's been going since 2011, apparently. They're targeting Wii U now, too. Still, the Wii doesn't even fit those patents. If anything, Kinect and PS Move are what they should go after (Not saying they SHOULD, but those are technically a lot more similar to what the patents described). 4 Firaga, Jiraiya's Disciple, Exiblade7 and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shulk 8,623 Posted June 21, 2014 Sooooo....what happens now? Nintendo's appealing to court to try and prove that they didn't do anything wrong. If they lose the dispute, they'll have to pay a lot of money to Phillips, and from what I understand, possibly ban sales of Wii and Wii U in the US. I have NO clue what the point of that would be for Phillips, aside from them just trying to screw Nintendo over for the heck of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not much purpose left for it now anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are literally doing this with absolutely no necessary cause. 1 Shulk reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
