Level-5, perhaps best known in the western world as the publisher of the Professor Layton games, has a popular soccer series in Japan called Inazuma Eleven, and Sega doesn't like it. Sega is suing Level-5, alleging patent infringement on a mechanic in Nintendo DS versions of Inazuma Eleven that allows players to move characters with their fingers or a stylus, Kotaku reports.

Sega's endgame is to halt the sale of all eight Inazuma Eleven games and to get ¥900 million ($11 million) in damages from Level-5. The case heard opening statements on December 7, and Level-5 plans to fight the charges.

"We are preparing our rebuttal and do not have any comments to make at this time," Level-5 says.

...Wha?

What? The only Sega game i played that involves moving characters with a stylus is Sonic Chronicles. Why the hell get pissy over a little thing like that?

Might be because their lawyers are stupid?

This post makes me wonder if you even read the OP.

Also you must be really easily impressed if you think a game is awesome just by one photo. =P

That's exactly what he's saying. The game is so damn bored. You need to entertain it before the game dies from boredom. The last thing you would ever want to have is a game that is bored and unsatisfied!!

Next thing you know, someone's gonna patent the movement of characters using the analog stick...

If this case is considered legitimate Nintendo has the right to sue pretty much every other dev and publisher in the industry.

Apple got away with it's patent dispute, so I don't have high hopes...
