News: Court rules in favour of Nintendo, MS over controller patent breach
A Washington court of appeal has ruled in favour of Nintendo and Microsoft following accusations the companies breached a patent relating to controller power conversions.
Patent holder Fenner Investments first sued the two console makers three years ago, reports Gamasutra, claiming that their devices used a design they had patented.
The patent in question is for a ‘Low-Voltage Joystick Port Interface’ described as an analogue stick which outputs to a digital signal – which is found in the majority of controllers for home consoles.
