Nintendo has sued the peripherals maker Nyko for allegedly violating Nintendo patents and trademarks pertaining to the Wireless Nunchuk add-on for the Wii-mote.
The complaint, filed in Washington, claims that Nyko’s “Kama” controller “wholly appropriates the novel shape, design, overall appearance and even the color and materials used in the Nintendo Nunchuk controller.”
Additionally, Nintendo says even the Kama’s packaging infringe on trademarks held by Nintendo. The entertainment giant wants monetary damages and the removal of the product from stores.
