Ex-Sony Man Sues Nintendo Over 3DS
Forget Moore's Law, that's old. The law all technology companies need to be aware of is 'Sues Law'. This states that within six months of a product hitting a market someone will sue someone else over it in the United States. This time it's Tomita suing Nintendo over the 3DS screen.

A company called Tomita and set up by a former Sony engineer is bringing the case.

According to PatentArcade, "A technology company based in Japan and the U.S. brought suit against Nintendo for allegedly infringing on their stereoscopic (3-D) patent with its new 3-D gaming system."

The complaint quotes one of the many US Patents taken out by the company ,"U.S. Patent No. 7,417,664 (the ‘664 patent) titled Stereoscopic Image Picking Up and Display System Based Upon Optical Axes Cross-Point Information.'"

Tomita alleges that Nintendo is wilfully infringing on its ‘664 patent in order to make 3DS possible - it doesn't however, state quite how this is happening.
