SEGA is suing Level-5 over Inazuma Eleven
- Sega is suing Level-5 for patent infringement
- this involves the Inazuma Eleven Nintendo DS games
- specifically, it deals with the in-game mechanic that allows players to move characters via stylus/finger
- Sega is calling for the sale of all eight Inazuma Eleven games to be stopped
- Sega is also asking for ¥900 million (US$11 mil) in damages
- opening arguments were heard on December 7
- Level-5 says, "We are preparing our rebuttal and do not have any comments to make at this time."
Seems odd for SEGA to file this complaint now. Letting Level-5 get 8 games deep and then having a problem with it?
