Nintendo Being Sued For Wiimote Design

QUOTE
The claim refers to a patent filed in February, 2005 which refers to a device titled "Trigger Operated Electronic Device." The patent describes the advice as a "trigger operated device in the nature of a pointing device for use with an electronic system such as a computer." The patent continues to describe a device which, on the surface, sounds an awful like the Wii's controller.
Sounds an awful lot like the NES gun for Duck Hunt. Or, the Mad Katz gun for Xbox. Or a wireless pointer for presentations on XP Media Center Edition.

Another attempt at $$$. I hope Nintendo fights this and wins. And, then counter sues for smearing their name and owns this company too. Then folds it, and fires every employee with no benefits.

Ok maybe not that bad.
