REPORT - U.S. jury finds Nintendo liable for patent infringement
A federal jury in New York on Wednesday found that video game company Nintendo Co infringed an inventor's 3-D display technology patent with its handheld 3DS videogame system.
The jury awarded the inventor, Seijiro Tomita, $30.2 million in compensatory damages. The patent relates to technology that Tomita developed for providing 3-D images without the need for 3-D glasses. In opening arguments last month, Tomita's attorney, Joe Diamante, told the jury in U.S. District Court in Manhattan that Nintendo used technology that Tomita developed for its 3DS. Tomita is a former longtime Sony Corp employee.
