Hillcrest Labs has submitted a patent-infringement complaint against Nintendo and its popular Wii game system with the U.S. International Trade Commission, and said it has filed a separate patent-infringement suit against Nintendo in the U.S. District Court in Maryland.

"While Hillcrest Labs has a great deal of respect for Nintendo and the Wii, Hillcrest Labs believes that Nintendo is in clear violation of its patents and has taken this action to protect its intellectual property rights," the company said.
