Nintendo Being Sued For Glasses-less 3D Screen Technology

Why didn't I think of this!?

becuase it's a typical nintendrone post

I think he means "why didn't I think of patenting glasses-less 3D and suing Nintendo for truckloads of moneyz?"

He shouldn't be able to sue if he patented that long ago and did nothing with the technology for that long. Doing that locks out possibilities for (any)technology to progress.

patents expire after 20 years. It's how hyperkin was able to show off a nes/snes clone made with the nes2 and snes2 chips at E3. If a patent goes unused by the holder after 15 years, you can legally fight for it's early expiration. After 10 years if the patent holder has gotten another patent for a very similar product, another person can claim the new patent superseeds the 10 year one and fight for old's fair use.

oh, well I think many people commenting in this thread have no idea how the patent process works
its not like you can write "herp derp glasses-less 3d" on a napkin and patent it
something like this design idea would have cost thousands upon thousands of dollars for patent attorney fees, professional drawing and figures, filling fee's, and other associated fee's, and may still get rejected by the patent office

Interesting, but stupid. The patent system works when considering blatant copying ie. I can't make a copy of the iPhone and sell it as a uPhone. Still it doesn't really cheer companies to spend money on R&D if they can't be sure that there is some kind of profit or at least 0-profit. Funny thing though is how different tech is released.. "LOOK THE NEW IPHONE WITH FEATURE XXX!" has happened quite a few times before and still those features might be used very rarely. And been on different companies products for years. Inb4 rage over Apple's products, I own a MBP and like using it. It's just the point of bringing this into perspective.

Good try anyway for the lawsuit.

Nintendo are Sharps customers, they bought those screens, as much as you are a Nintendo customer to buy those screen from Nintendo, Nintendo can be sued but not for as-much, It's like saying Optimus 3D customers are sued due to using that same 3D technology

Nintendo shouldn't be using patented technology. They shouldn't be using any type of stolen ideas either. Nintendo deserves to die if they stole stuff.

You do realise that almost EVERYTHING is a copy of previous items don't you?
Are you saying that no company should have the right to make, say, a waste paper basket because someone ELSE had the idea first? What about that optical mouse you are using on a your computer? I bet is wasn't manufactured by Xerox! If it wasn't for people using 'stolen' ideas, the TV would never have became popular, every day items would not be mass produced on a production line, you wouldn't have Linux or Windows or MacOX. We would still be in the dark ages because caveman1 killed anyone who used his idea to use a rock as a seat.

Amen to this.

Atari did the mouse, if I remember correctly, and they thrown it away while Gates and Jobs picked it up

Why is this guy waiting until now to try to sue them?....

I doubt he'll win, but if he does... I don't even know what would happen.

This is a pretty old news article...

 

[Clydefrosch]

i dont think this can even be won, the technology in itself is way to basic, way to easy and the concept of it has been known for decades already.

also, even if he should win, whats the problem? he'll be payed a small sum or a few cents for every ds and thats it.
or nintendo might just pour the money they would otherwise have to pay him into lawyers and degrade him back to gradeschool


edit: wait what oo lol i didnt even check the original post date... damn you, latest discussion thingy
