Revealed during their Investor presentation today, the company’s first QOL product will be a device that attaches to or sits next to a bed and tracks sleep.

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).
Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.
Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Nintendo completed its share repurchase and set its secondary offering price at 8,347 yen ahead of March 16 delivery.

Nintendo filed a lawsuit in the United States Court of International Trade.
Nintendo of America is suing the United States government over the sweeping tariffs President Donald Trump put in place last year, according to a complaint filed Friday in the U.S. Court of International Trade and obtained by Aftermath.
LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.
"You slept like shit. Now, you owe Tom Nook 3,000,000 Bells."
So if you have a nightmare, does it remove some coins from your club nintendo account?XD
Since a lot of thw QOL products on the market are not well-engineered or too expansive, I am very pleased with that development. I expect some quality for a reasonable price from Nintendo.
Give me some biofeedback training (pulse, skin conductance, EEG, HRV) and biofeedback games and I'll throw money at you, Nintendo.
I have this weird feeling that it's just a box that whispers 'Buy a WiiU' during my REM sleep :P
you turn on your wii u to be greeted with the message 'It happened again...'
In any case, its an interesting move considering the Wii u has been gaining momentum thanks to its focus on its hardcore games, not its casual user core.
