A U.S. trade agency has said it will investigate Nintendo, the maker of the top-selling Wii video-game console, to determine whether the player infringes a Maryland electronics laboratory's patents for motion-control technology.
The U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington said Wednesday that it would examine whether the Wii system and accompanying remote controls violate patents owned by Hillcrest Laboratories. If a violation is found, the agency can block imports of the Wii. An investigation typically takes about 15 months. Source
