Nintendo of America Press Release

posted in Misc. News by swampgas on Jan 20th, 2001

I was looking for more info about this law suit Nintendo has against Imagine Media and came across their official press release (released today). An excerpt: Nintendo of America Inc. has filed suit against Imagine Media Inc. to stop the distribution and sale of Imagine's unlicensed strategy guidebook for Pokémon® Gold and Silver. The lawsuit concerns an unlicensed guidebook sold by Imagine for 9.99 that infringes Nintendo's Pokémon® trademark and copies wholesale from a variety of Nintendo's own publications. It is not directed at editorial commentary by Imagine and makes no allegations regarding Imagine's magazines or its websites. Nintendo first attempted to resolve the matter with Imagine informally and only filed the lawsuit after these attempts failed.
