From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

This patent infringement lawsuit was originally about whether a patent owned by SyncPoint Imaging, LLC, is infringed by Nintendo of America, Inc., and PixArt, Inc., through their development and sale of the Wii game system. The case is now a battle over attorneys’ fees. Nintendo and PixArt , the prevailing parties , want more than $2.5 million in attorneys’ fees for what they contend was a frivolous lawsuit. The court does not agree that merits of the lawsuit were frivolous or the suit should be declared exceptional.
