Nintendo sued over the Wiimote.

http://wii.qj.net/Nintendo-gets-hit-wit ... aid/123306

So now the only controller without a lawsuit is the N64... They're getting owned.

Who are those people now? Hillcrest?
Man, I can't believe companies that are winning are the ones that no-one ever hears of.

Yasuhiro Minagawa had this to say: "We haven't received any notice of the lawsuit and therefore are not in a position to comment at this time."

It appears Nintendo is still safe for the time being.

Another company called Hillcrest Laboratories is now pushing for another lawsuit, this time for the Wiimote's motion-control tech and the graphical interface software used on the television. They are looking to block shipments of the Wii and Wiimotes in the US, and have filed a complaint to the US International Trade Commission.

Not until I get mine b****

At this rate, Nintendo may have to develop a controller-less console.

I read up on their products, and they sell this thing called HōME. It's what they refer to in the first article found here.

It says their tech is used in tons of things such as TV remotes, mice and other things, so why aren't they suing anyone else? I haven't seen a TV remote, mouse or controller that says 'Uses Freespace tech developed by Hillcrest Labs' on the package, or even gives them any credit whatsoever.
