@scar: an honest question here: if this were a case against sony by a former nintendo employee...would you be using words such as 'misinterpretation', 'falsely accused', 'mistake'? i am not being snarky, i am really curious about it.

also: we've all seen what you say in your last paragraph, some of us more as we're older. unfortunately, it is the only legal system in place at the moment. i also doubt there is much police brutality in patent infringement cases.

It really depends what the case was, but there isn't one, so I rest my case.
Other than that, no comment.

Anyways, having read that he could've gotten hundreds of millions in royalties, I'm glad things turned out the way they did. As others have said, $30 Million isn't too bad, but $292 Million? Now that I think would've really hurt Nintendo.

Iknow this has nothing to do with Nintendo or Sony, but this whole thing kinda reminds me of another example infringement case or whatever it was, i believe it was Motorla and Microsoft that couldn've gotten XBox 360 banned in the US possibly, but the dicision was ruled as a "suggestion" holding back sales. No fofense, but I honestly I believe Scar392 to be in his/her own right here to not trust the judge's decision. Legal or not if you don't have the experience in such fields than how can people expect an accurate ruling? Back to the original topic, though, I don't really nkow much about who did what, but just saying.

While it's fine to question a judgement in court, if you're going to do so you need more evidence than "I don't agree with it and police brutality means that this patent ruling is clearly incorrect."

And if you understood how patents worked then you would also understand why it's not actually important to have used a technology to judge if it has breached a patent.

If it really was that "easy" then we would all be lawyers with great sports cars.

do you really think that nintendo didn't have enough lawyers to sink a ship on this one? judges in patent cases have experience in patent cases. it is not the criminal court system. it is full of business people all sides.

you have the right to distrust the ruling, but not the expertise in patent law. i sure as hell don't.

I was just stating questionable actions that are clearly wrong being the main factor here. I've seen wrong and/or unfair trials, so I have a right to question the whole system if it fails even one person. This judge and jury probably have no clue how the technology being argued actually works. This whole case is completely heresy if they didn't compare the 2 devices side by side and differentiate the exact components of each device(or blueprints).
Nintendo should pay up if they used even one of his ideas that makes up the final product. I just find it hard to believe that out of all the glasses free 3D devices from LG, Evo, etc, that can all playback the same content in 3D, Nintendo's was way more supposedly reliant on his components and specific structure of the device.
I find it hard to believe, but that doesn't mean I am completey dismissing the possibility.

EDIT: It is also possible his form of 3D was video game specific.

You weren't in the room for the proceedings, you have no legal background, you don't seem to understand how patent law works. You have no evidence to support your point of view, beyond the most anecdotal and least legitimate evidence that is imaginable.

You're not in a position to criticise the verdict. You are welcome to only once you've got something legitimate to support your point of view. End of story.

@Bankai
None of us were there. I'm gonna think something's fishy if someone punches me in the face, and I'm the one with assault charges. That didn't actually happen, but that's my point.
In the end it's all about who calls the cops first that decides the victor. I know you like to defend everything for how it's supposed to work, but how it's supposed to work isn't always how it is.

@SCAR392: Your analogy makes absolutely no sense. It's like you're trying to claim their absolute innocence when the court system has ruled otherwise, and believe me when i say that Nintendo has an amazing team of lawyers on retainer in order to have weathered the storms of piracy, copyright infringement, and patent trolling they're hit by all the time. If a jury ruled in favor of the other guy, there had to have been some serious infringement there that deserved some recompense — whether to the extent awarded by the jury will be haggled via appeal, but however unintentional the usage of someone else' patented technology, that someone else needs to be compensated.

I do not understand your level of distrust regarding this issue. You keep talking about cops and criminal offenses, but this is not a criminal case. it's all white-collar stuff. there's no violence in this case at all.

How exactly is this not criminal? It's basically going back and saying """you stole my idea" and are profitting from it". Theft is a crime. However this is also a scenario where whatever idea people come up with, it's never going to be 100% original, it has to've come been inspired from something somewhere, and that's what's wrong wit the world these days. Simply because of 1 itty bitty similarity everybody turns into $ grubbers over it.

@DaveGX: no, i mean 'criminal' in terms of the court system. as far as i know (and The_Shpydar may be able to shed some light on things since he's actually a lawyer, lol) patent infringement is pursued in the civil court system. there's a difference in how cases are handled and stuff, the continued references to police and brutality and violence from SCAR392 don't really apply to this situation. yes, accidental or not, something was used without permission and technically it would be theft, but they're arguing over the value of what was stolen (and which will be reimbursed to the patent holder so that he is made whole again), not potential jail-time.

This is the same thing what happen when apple Vs. samsung case.When apple accuse samsung, of patent infringement so to be honest its no big deal in my opinion and hasn't anyone notice everytime a new device came out companys always do that?...This is funny because sony doing this because of the ps4 coming out.

@Dragon
Yes, Patent law falls within the realm of "civil" law. Nothing to do with criminal proceedings at all. Completely different realms of law with different standards, burdens of proof, etc.

@DaveGX
It's not 1 "itty bitty" similarlity. That's not how patent infringement works — if it was 1 itty bitty similarity, then there would not be a finding of infringement . It is a very complicated and intricate system that requires a significant showing that the offending tech has a certain level (usually determined by specific points of similarlity) of commonality with the patented tech.

@SCAR
You need to stop with your completely ridiculous analogies, as they do not in anyway apply to what's going on. From a logical debating standpoint, your arguments are coming across as something like "I am allergic to apples, therefore tomatoes tried to eat my dog." I find it very interesting in your post where you speculate on what might have happened here (Ninendo made a mistake, etc), you didn't once posit that Nintendo might have actually knowingly ripped off this guy's idea. They might have. Corporations do things like this all the time, and Nintendo is not some sainted company that can do no wrong. It is also ironic that you are so distrusitng of the legal system for what amount to statistically insignificant miscarriages, yet seem to absolutely trust a worldwide corporation, entities which are well-known for playing fast and lose with the rules.

I did post that it was possible they ACCIDENTALLY used it. Besides, if they knowingly did so, he's getting paid, but we can't mind read, which doesn't hold as an argument in the court of law. How do you comprehend sources and notes if you can't even read my posts?

How is asking what kind of law he handles irrelevant to the discussion?
