Former Sony employee sues Nintendo for theft of technology

employee of the firm Sony has started a lawsuit against Nintendo, claiming that such company theft a patent that he had been previously. This patent is for generating technology in 3-d without glasses.

Seijiro Tomita, name of the applicant, has been awarded the creation of technology in 3D without the use of some type of glasses, and all claims that I have seen to large enterprises for breach of patent, this is the strangest but maybe if it can proceed.

The counsel of the Lord Tomita, Joe diamond, informed the Court of the United States in New York that the Lord Tomita met in 2003 with seven executives from Nintendo to introduce its technology in 3D. Subsequently, four of them were people involved in the launch of the Nintendo 3DS. "He felt betrayed and hurt that they used their technology" says diamond.

Nintendo response is that Mr. Tomita was only one of several candidates who submitted their ideas for the project and that in fact the Nintendo 3DS does not use the key points of his patent. In fact, one of those who carried proposals was Sharp, who later threw the display of the 3DS.

In case that the Court turn in favor of Tomita, you would receive $9.80 per each sold Nintendo 3DS that, only until 2012, have been 29,84 million. This means that the inventor Lord would be receiving $292 million. We will see later who is winner of all this mess.
