Nintendo slapped with $30.2 million in damages for infringing glasses-free 3D patent

Nintendo slapped with $30.2 million in damages for infringing glasses-free 3D patent

In 2011, former Sony employee Seijiro Tomita launched a suit against Nintendo, claiming the 3DS infringed on a patent he holds to display 3D visuals without glasses. Today, a federal court in New York decided to award Tomita with $30.2 million in damages for Iwata and Co.'s infringement. The House that Mario built unsuccessfully argued that it didn't rely on key parts of the patent, and that Tomita was just one of several folks it met with when it was looking into 3D tech in 2003. Though the damages are a significant sum, Nintendo's pockets are certainly deep enough to handle it.
