Guardian Media Technologies alleged that Nintendo’s Wii had infringed on one of its patents, but the US District Court in Los Angeles granted Nintendo’s motion for summary judgment of non-infringement earlier in the week, less than six months after Guardian filed the lawsuit against Nintendo.

The lawsuit alleged that Guardian’s patent for parental control technology in TV programs and DVD video playback was violated. Although the Wii does feature parental control functions, it does not feature DVD video playback.

“We are very pleased with the Court’s decision,” said Rick Flamm, Nintendo of America’s senior vice president of Legal and general counsel. “Nintendo vigorously defends patent lawsuits. At the earliest stages of this case, Nintendo convinced the Court to dismiss this case as Guardian’s patent had nothing to do with Nintendo’s products.”
