Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Colopl in January 2018, alleging that Colopl infringed on at least five Nintendo patents in Colopl’s Shironeko Project smartphone game.
Nintendo and game developer Colopl announced on Wednesday that they have settled Nintendo’s lawsuit against Colopl for patent infringement regarding the Shironeko Project smartphone game.
Colopl announced a tentatively titled Shironeko New Project game for Nintendo Switch in July 2018.
Colopl will pay Nintendo 3.3 billion yen (about US$30.1 million) as the settlement fee for the proceedings, including the future license for the Nintendo patent, and Nintendo will withdraw the lawsuit.
