A small company based in Texas won its patent infringement lawsuit against Nintendo of America. The jury awarded iLife Technologies $10 million in damages when it decided that Nintendo’s Wii controllers infringe on iLife’s six patents on motion-sensing technology.
The suit stated that Nintendo’s Wii and Wii U controllers use accelerometers to track how a player is moving their hands relative to their environment, which is a system iLife says it invented and patented for use in medical monitors that would automatically call an ambulance if an elderly person fell or if a baby was at risk of dying from sudden infant death syndrome.
