Nintendo wins Australia payout over game- copying device 19 February 2010 GadgetGear and directors Patrick and James Li were ordered to pay Nintendo 620,000 Australian dollars (556,500 US dollars) in damages and hand over all its stock of copiers for destruction. Nintendo said it was mulling further action against other Australian sellers of pirating gadgets, and would use "all means available to it under the law". This month, an Australian man agreed to pay Nintendo 1.3 million US dollars in an out-of-court settlement after illegally uploading New Super Mario Bros. to the Internet six days before its global release. (c) 2010 AFP Young boys play Japanese video game giant Nintendo's portable video game console "Nintendo DS" at a showroom in Tokyo in 2006. Gaming giant Nintendo said Friday it had won 556,500 US dollars' compensation from an Australian firm for selling illegal game-copying devices. Gaming giant Nintendo said Friday it had won 556,500 US dollars' compensation from an Australian firm for selling illegal game-copying devices. Nintendo said it won a Federal Court case against online console and accessory seller GadgetGear over the gadgets, known as R4 cards, which pirate games for its handheld DS system. "GadgetGear and its directors have now acknowledged that game copying devices infringe both Nintendo's copyright and Nintendo's trademarks and that they are illegal circumvention devices," the Japanese company said. "As a result, GadgetGear and the directors have agreed to permanently refrain from importing, offering for sale and/or selling game copier devices." 1 / 2 APA citation: Nintendo wins Australia payout over game-copying device (2010, February 19) retrieved 2 October 2021 from https://phys.org/news/2010-02-nintendo-australia-payout-game-copying-device.html This document is subject to copyright.

Using Trade Dress to Protect the Look and Feel of Video Games
THE JOHN MARSHALL REVIEW OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW TRYING ON TRADE DRESS: USING TRADE DRESS TO PROTECT THE LOOK AND FEEL OF VIDEO GAMES BENJAMIN C.R. LOCKYER ABSTRACT With the creation of video games for smart phones, video games are some of the most accessible forms of entertainment on the market. What was once only an attraction inside the designated location of arcade halls, is now within the grip of nearly every smart phone user. With new game apps for smart phones going viral on a regular basis, the video game industry has become one of the most profitable in the entertainment realm. However, the industry's overall success has also led to increased competition amongst game developers. As a result, competing developers create near exact copies of highly successful video games called clones. By copying non-copyrightable elements, clone developers can create confusingly similar video games. This comment examines the creation of clone video games and how their developers avoid copyright infringement by exploiting scènes à faire and the merger doctrine. The exploitation of copyright law for video game developers could be combated by trademark law. By using the Lanham Act's protection for trade dress, non-copyrightable elements that identify popular games may be protected. By seeking trade dress protection against clones, game developers can sustain the value of their investment in gaming apps, while also minimizing the issue of consumer confusion.
