Sony, Nintendo and Nokia sued for making gaming devices that do stuff
Filed under: Games, Handsets, Nokia
While most folks welcome gaming devices that do more than simply play games, Texas-based Wall Wireless LLC seems to think that’s a bit over the line, at least when it’s not getting a piece of the action. More specifically, the little known company says that Sony, Nintendo, and Nokia are infringing on its patent for a “Method and Apparatus for Creating and Distributing Real-Time Interactive Media Content Through Wireless Communication Networks and the Internet,” which apparently relates to someone distributing “messages having aural or visual content that is generated by the operator using handheld apparatuses such as mobile telephones.” According to Wall Wireless, that patent not only covers the DS and PSP, but specific games like Mario Kart and Wipeout Pulse, and a whole host of Nokia’s game-playing phones, including the N95, N93, and N82. As a result, it’s seeking a permanent injunction against the allegedly infringing companies lest it be “irreparably harmed,” as well as the usual damages, expenses, and attorney’s fees, not to mention “pre-judgment and post-judgment interest.”
