在 2018 年，任天堂就以技术专利被侵害为由向 Colopl 公司旗下手游《白猫计划》提出诉讼，3 年之后双方终于达成了和解。目前任天堂和 Colopl 都在各自的官网上发布了和解声明，Colopl 需要向任天堂方面支付诉讼的和解费，以及未来的专利许可费，而任天堂方面将撤回诉讼。根据网上放出的文件显示，Colopl 需要向任天堂支付的金额为 33 亿日元。任天堂曾为 NDS 触摸屏的虚拟摇杆技术申请专利，其他厂商仅需得到任天堂授权就能自由在游戏中用上该技术，而 Colopl 认为《白猫计划》中的“弹性风格”的虚拟摇杆为自己独创。来源：automaton
In 2018, Nintendo filed a lawsuit against the white cat program, a mobile game owned by colopl company, on the grounds of infringement of technology patents. Three years later, the two sides finally reached a settlement. At present, both Nintendo and colopl have issued a settlement statement on their respective official websites. Colopl needs to pay the settlement fee of the lawsuit and future patent license fee to Nintendo, and Nintendo will withdraw the lawsuit. According to documents released online, colopl needs to pay 3.3 billion yen to Nintendo. Nintendo has applied for a patent for the virtual rocker technology of NDS touch screen. Other manufacturers can freely use the technology in the game only with the authorization of Nintendo, while colopl believes that the "elastic style" virtual rocker in the white cat project is original.
