Lonestar Inventions claims Nintendo infringed on patent

[jefdizon]

Anyone care to patent water, air, fire and dirt? so you can sue anyone who drinks, breathes, cooks and walks... lol :rofl:

Seriously folks, what would happen if a foreign company got so fed up with these U.S. patent trolls and decide to pull out from the U.S. market??

That would mean no Sony, Nintendo, Nokia, Ericsson or any other foreign tech products for U.S. consumers. It's gonna be their loss.

At least it will keep nintendo on its toes cos at the moment i feel nintendo is relying on the fact other consoles are recieving bad publicity

Actually, take a look at the Monsanto corporation patents. They've patented many many different seed variations for farm use, and farmers must use their seeds in order to sell anything.

I think they've patented over one million different variations by now.

Water, air, fire, and dirt, probably will soon follow.



After a quick look, Monsanto has tried to patent pigs.

Monsanto has tried to patent pigs.

how the F*** did they think they could do that?

Well, the patent they are trying to get is so loosely worded about the process of genetically selecting pigs by breeding, that they're actually trying to patent next to the entire process of making pigs.

Monsanto is trying to take over the food market.

Luckily, we've really have yet to see some upstart group trying to patent everything about video games, consoles, or even homebrewn. You'd be surprised what you can patent.

LONE STARRRRR!!!
(breathes heavily, falls over)

Yeesh, I hate these stupid patent campers. However, I have every confidence that Nintendo's Schwartz will be bigger than Lone Star's when this is taken to court.
