Will Nintendo be Sued for Having 3 Ns in their name?

The fist thing you think when you look at that title is: "daft". But it's an honest question. Will Nintendo be sued for having 3 Ns in their name? Considering what they have been sued for in the past, yes they will. People have been suing Nintendo for years. And I've noticed that it's over stupid things. There's one reason why, and only one reason. It's the only important thing in the world to some people. I am, of course, talking about the one, the only, money.
Enough jabbering, because it's time we give some examples.
Most, if not all, gamers know that the GameCube's fan base was so low that it died financially. So clearly, the GameCube and it's controllers would be left alone now, right? Right? WRONG. In 2008, Nintendo were sued by Anascape because they had a patent on the analog stick. Genius. Sue Nintendo for a controller that's pretty much dead (unless you play Smash Bros Brawl, then it's not) and a controller designed to make the Virtual Console seem more, well, classic. Suing someone over a dead remote is very silly, if you ask me. Sadly, you probably aren't asking me because I'm not an expert.
While there are worse, I don't want to drag this article on. I think one example is enough. So the gist is this: Nintendo are sued for stupid things so people can make money.
What a greedy world we live in.

Top-level comments on this article: (9 total)Great article. Well done.It seems everyone is going crazy for a few bob. The worst case I have heard is when a woman tried to sue McDonald's for making her fat. Her defense lawyer probably asked if wants fries with that before getting paid.The more money a company has the more others want it.Funny story.Thanks for the comment.
Lawsuits in the US are an epidemic. I think most lawsuits are a waste of time and the things people should be responsible for are left by the wayside. Nintendo is a profitable company. There will always be someone looking to make a buck from them and other successful businesses, sadly.Yeah. That's sadly true.Thanks for the comment.
Good article. We are in a mkney age where any oppoortunity to possible gain is taken advantage of. Now if this harmed this company through this act then they have a right to damages if this can be proven.I understand. I'm not sure if they would though, but whatever.Thanks for the comment.
Interesting article Camerone! I was unaware of the past lawsuit against Nintendo! Thanks for teaching me something new!You're welcome.Thanks for the comment.
Good point, Cameron. Money has been said to be the 'root of all evil'. Job well done.Heh.Thanks for the comment.You're doing great, Cameron!
Great Story!! This is a surprise to me. Nintendo being sued for 3 N's in their name....... lol. I wish people used their spare time more productively.Lol. I'm surprised they haven't been sued about that yet.Thanks for the comment.
Nice article. Those big companies like Microsoft, Apple and etc are the same as Nintendo. I believe they have been in and out from the courtroom countless times.That's right. If I recall correctly, Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony were all sued for their analog sticks.People are just silly.Thanks for the comment.
Suing others has become a business for some. Maybe that's why the Bible tells believers that if we have a quarrel or grievance against another believer, don't take him to court, instead take him before the church leaders and let them work it out.Interesting, I never knew that.Thanks for the comment.
Great article, Cameron. And we're lucky they're suing Nintendo--that way they'll leave us alone.Heh, thanks for the comment.
