It was recently announced that Anascape Ltd. obtained a $21M verdict against Nintendo of America Inc. for patent infringement regarding various Nintendo gaming controllers. The lawsuit, filed on July 31, 2006 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (Lufkin), alleged infringement of eleven of Anascape?s patents by Microsoft Corp. and five of Anascape?s patent by Nintendo, and sought damages, attorney?s fees, and a permanent injunction.
