Nintendo has prevailed in a patent lawsuit first filed by "Copper Innovations Group in 2008" claiming the Wiimote and console infringed on Copper's 1996 patent for a "hand held computer input apparatus and method". The Pittsburgh U.S. District Court granted summary judgement in Nintendo's favor, halting any need for a jury trial.

"We are very pleased with the court's decision, Nintendo has a long history of developing innovative products while respecting the intellectual property rights of others. We also vigorously defend patent lawsuits when we firmly believe that we have not infringed another party's patient, despite the risks that this policy entails. I would like to express our sincere appreciation for the tireless efforts of our legal team"
says Nintendo of America's deputy general counsel, Richard Medway.
