Perkins Coie lawyers were mentioned in "Nintendo Gets Most Patent Claims Axed In Row Over Switch," an article in Law360*, regarding representing Nintendo in patnet infringement on portable gaming patents.

Chief U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg's Tuesday order granted in part Nintendo Co.'s summary judgment bid in the infringement suit lodged by rival Gamevice Inc., which argues that the multibillion-dollar-earning Nintendo Switch infringes a trio of patents related to handheld gaming devices. Judge Seeborg held that Gamevice isn't entitled to the priority date of a parent patent application — filed before the 2017 release of the Nintendo Switch — and thus determined that all but one of the asserted claims are invalid as anticipated.

Nintendo is represented by Grant Kinsel, David R. Pekarek Krohn, Kevin A. Zeck, Ruben T. Kendrick and Ryan B. Hawkins of Perkins Coie LLP.
