Song-Pro developed a plug-in that enables Nintendo Game Boys to play MP3 song files. As a result, Nintendo filed suit in U.S. District Court in Seattle, claiming the company infringed its intellectual property rights.
The suit against the African-American owned company garnered the attention of Jesse Jackson and his Rainbow/Push Coalition Silicon Valley, which facilitated a meeting between the two parties (Hitsdailydouble.com 6/14).
Said Nintendo Vice President and General Counsel Richard Flamm: "We are pleased that we were able to come together and find a common ground for agreement. Nintendo is committed to protecting its intellectual property rights and we appreciate Song-Pros cooperation in resolving this situation. It would have been really embarrassing if Pokemon had to kick their asses."
