Nintendo is having a really bad year.
This week, ThinkOptical has filed a lawsuit against the gaming company, claiming the Wii console infringes on patents they own.
ThinkOptical are the creators of the Wavit Remote.
Nintendo is accused of infringing on three patents, including one for “Electronic Equipment for Handheld Vision Based Absolute Pointing System.” ThinkOptical is demanding monetary compensation, attorney fees and future royalties.
The company also claims Nintendo knew of the infringement before launching the Wii in 2005.
ThinkOptical has also added Wal-Mart, Gamestop and Radio Shack in the suit, in their attempts to be the latest notable patent troll.
