Started in 2006, Amascape, Ltd sued Nintendo of America for violating the controller patents with the Wii Remote, Wii Numchuck, Wii Classic Controller, WaveBird Wireless Controller, and the Nintendo GameCube Controller. Amascape compared Nintendo's controller patents with the twelve following patents:

  • "Variable Conductance Sensor" (Patent #5999084)
  • "Game Controller with Analog Pressure Sensor" (Patent #6102802)
  • "Variable Conductance Sensor with Elastomeric Dome Cap" (Patent #6135886)
  • "Remote Controller with Analog Button" (Patent #6208271)
  • "Image Controller with Sheet Connected Sensors" (Patent #6222535)
  • "Game Control with Analog Pressure Sensor" (Patent #6343991)
  • "Variable Sensor with Tactile Feedback" (Patent #6344791)
  • "Analog Controls Housed with Electronic Displays" (Patent #6347997)
  • "Variable Conductance Sensor" (again) (Patent #6351205)
