Nintendo of America has been sued by Interlink Electronics over alleged patent infringement in its Wii console’s remote control. Interlink, a Los Angeles-based company specializing in remote controls and electronic-signature technology, filed suit in a federal district court in Delaware on December 4, claiming that Nintendo’s Wii Remote violates its “Trigger Operated Electronic Device” patent. Interlink claimed that Nintendo’s sale of the device, nicknamed the Wiimote, has caused the company to lose profits and royalties.
