Nintendo Co., the world’s biggest video-game device maker, can keep selling its Wii gaming system in the U.S. after winning a trade dispute over a theme-park operator’s patents for magic wands.
Nintendo didn’t violate the patent rights owned by Apollo Global Management’s Creative Kingdoms, the U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington said in a notice posted on its website today. The agency rejected a request to block imports of Nintendo’s Wii gaming consoles and remote controls.
