Trouble is on the horizon for the Nintendo Wii.

Hillcrest Laboratories has stated that Nintendo Co Ltd. Infringed on their patents in making its new console, the Wii. The US International Trade Commission has agreed to look into the claim.

Hillcrest is accusing Nintendo of violating four patents in the creation of the Wii. The ITC has the power to ban products  from the US - including the Wii - if deemed to be created with infringed technology.

Of course Nintendo has stated they respected the patents of other companies, including Hillcrest Laboratories. Nintendo intends to defend this proclamation.

As we all know, the Wii has been a huge hit, dominating the video game market since its release. It’s revolutionary motion sensing technology being the main component to its success. We shall wait and see what the future holds for Nintendo.
