TechCrunch also reports that ThinkOptical included Nyko Technologies, RadioShack, Walmart, and JC Penny in its filing complaint.

"The rejection of [...] applications - assigned to Nintendo Co. Ltd. - based on the '116 patent is proof that the Nintendo defendants knew or should have known of the objective risk that one or more of their products infringed at least one claim of at least the '116 Patent,"
